The Czar And The Casino

Trump’s pick for Drug Czar, Tom Marino, has had a few problems:

In 2007, Marino resigned from his position as a federal prosecutor after it was revealed Pennsylvania casino owner Louis DeNaples put down Marino’s name as a reference on a gaming application at the same time Marino’s office was investigating DeNaples for ties to organized crime. After his resignation, Marino went to work as in-house counsel for several DeNaples businesses. In 2010, during his first run for Congress, Allentown’s Morning Call reported Marino’s resignation came as he was being investigated by the Justice Department for his ties to DeNaples. The investigation was closed when Marino resigned, the report said.

Tom Marino has withdrawn himself from consideration as Drug Czar. Evidently there is a sickness in his family. Which means he “needs more time with his family”. The article does highlight his casino connections.
