Washington DC - The husband of President Donald Trump's former advisor, Alina Habba, recently brought forth evidence of an alleged "pay-to-play" scheme involving the iconic Kennedy Center.

According to Axios, Habba's husband and Turkish billionaire Turhan Mildon recently came forward with text messages that appear to show Trump's Ambassador to Venezuela and former Kennedy Center head Ric Grenell promising access to the administration in exchange for a large donation to the venue.

"Once the money comes to the company here, I will arrange the donation to Kennedy Centre [sic], and you'll be joining the VIP events and get close with the administration, even with POTUS," the text seen by the outlet read.

Grenell allegedly discussed making Mildon "the 'American face' down in V," and sent a financial document and other correspondence to the White House counsel's office.

News of the texts comes after Habba recently told the president that Grenell had failed to deposit a nearly $6 million donation to the center made last year by Mildon, prompting Trump to open an internal investigation.

Attorneys for the couple claim Grenell convinced Mildon to wire $17.6 million to Texas Armament & Technology, a private Houston-based defense company, which was split between a deal with the Democratic Republic of Congo and the donation to the center.

While it was pitched as a "software" deal, it's unclear what the Congo money was actually for, raising alarming questions about the alleged scheme.

Grenell has described the allegations as "lies" and has refused to send the text messages.

The damning allegations come shortly after Kimberley Guilfoyle - President Trump's Ambassador to Greece and ex-wife of his eldest son Don Jr. - was recently caught leveraging a similar scheme in which she promised a wealthy MAGA donor access to the president in exchange for paying off her credit card bill.

When pressed on the matter, the president acted as if he barely knew of Guilfoyle, and days later, abruptly fired her from the role.

Numerous members of the administration have faced accusations of carrying out "pay-to-play" schemes, including President Trump, who has appeared to hand out presidential pardons to anyone willing to donate massively to MAGA, regardless of the crime committed.
