This guy might not know about the financial crimes but he might know who terrorized Stormy in a parking garage and where bodies are buried.

Matthew Calamari, current EVP and COO at the Trump Organization, reportedly caught Trump's eye back in the 80's when the future president saw him roughing up some hecklers at a tennis tournament.

Hayes revealed an anecdote told in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump by Harry Hurt III.

“You’d do anything for me, wouldn’t you, Matty?” Trump asked.

“Yes, sir, Mr. Trump,” Calamari answered.

“Would you kill for me, Matty?” Trump wondered.

“Yes, sir,” he replied.

Put him under oath in front of the American people.

He looks like a real winner.

I think it tells you everything you need to know that an enforcer type moved up to a crazy high position in his organization. I say "enforcer" type but he would be rejected by a casting director as being a little too much of a caricature.
