10:38Now PlayingChuck Todd digs into the stunning news that the Lakers have sold again — this time for $12.5 billion to a group led by Josh Kushner and Bob Iger barely 10 months after Mark Walter bought the franchise for $10 billion, netting Walter a $2.5 billion profit in under a year. Chuck is careful to note that nobody has been charged with or accused of anything, and the whole thing may be entirely on the up and up. But the details warrant real scrutiny: Walter and Guggenheim Partners are currently under federal investigation over whether loans to his companies were properly disclosed, "why did Walter sell so fast?" is no longer a rhetorical question, and Kushner — brother of Jared — was set to be part of FIFA's now-collapsed $20 billion commercial rights venture before boycott threats killed it. Chuck’s broader point is one anyone in Trump's orbit now has to live with: proximity to this White House means the public will assume guilt until innocence is proven, fairly or not.
