Jaw-Dropping Revelations of MAGA Blood Feud Exposed

Spencer Platt / Getty Images A bitter feud inside President Donald Trump’s circle has escalated, with lawyers now getting involved.

A lawyer for Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon, the 29-year-old husband of Trump’s former attorney Alina Habba, 42, sent a wire-transfer receipt and disputed text messages to White House counsel Will Scharf on Wednesday night, The New York Times reported .

They were submitted to support allegations against former Kennedy Center director Ric Grenell, who denies any wrongdoing.

The dispute concerns a $17.6 million transfer to TX-AT, a Texas defense and security equipment company.

Habba told the White House that her husband made the payment at Grenell’s direction in May 2025 and believed $5.6 million would be set aside for the performing arts center.

She alleged that money never reached the institution.

The Times reported that she was so angry, she “stormed” into the Oval Office for a summit with Trump.

The Times also reported that it had not verified Habba’s accusations.

Habba and Grenell have been contacted for comment.

One message submitted to the White House purportedly shows Grenell offering to make Mildon the “American face down in V,” a reference to Venezuela, where both men had interests.

Grenell told the Times he never sent that message or anything to that effect.

He also denied that any financial transaction had taken place between him and Mildon or entities connected to the businessman.

“I’ve never asked for one cent to be sent somewhere else pretending it was for the Kennedy Center, and I’ve never received any payment from him,” Grenell told the newspaper.

He acknowledged consulting for TX-AT in 2024 but said he had no connection to the company when Mildon says he made the transfer.
