A week before winning the election that made him President of the United States, Donald Trump endured another negative news story, this one involving his presence at WrestleMania 4.

A news report seemed to contradict a claim that Trump had made, saying he didn't know a reputed mob-linked gambler named Robert LiButti. This was disputed in November 2016 when news agencies ran video of WrestleMania 4, where Trump was seen in the front row next to LiButti, particularly during game show hostess Vanna White's entrance prior to the main event.

LiButti, who died in 2014, was banned from New Jersey state casinos in 1991 due to reported ties with mob boss John Gotti. LiButti's daughter Edith Creamer would go on to claim that she and her father were present that night as guests of Trump's.
