arlen specter launched an investigation into the scandal.lly bad news for the nfl. but according to specter, a mutual friend of his and patriots owner robert kraft third quarter he could make the investigation disappear. specter's memoir documented a discussion with that friend. quote, on the signal stealing, a mutual friend had told me that if i laid off the patriots, there would be a lot of money in palm beach. i replied i couldn't care less. that one line always nagged at investigative report don jr. who needed to know who was the friend who offered a bribe to a sitting senator. years later he believes he has an answer -- donald j. trump. shanen telling espn his dad was upset, quote, he told me about the call in the wake of the conversation and his anger about it. my father was upset when such overtures would happen because he felt as if it were tantamount to a bribe situation but the suspect on this case law says it isn't. he would tell me when these thee things when they occur. we were very close. we reached out to both trump and kraft

why didn't senator specter's son speak out sooner? >> i don't know. shannon, wasn't someone who was necessarily looking to get this out. i think that he responded to questions from my coauthor, don van natta and i think that the way that he characterized it was that the senator was very upset at the insinuation that this good friend of his, that donald trump felt that maybe he would take a bribe if he would, you know, lay off the patriots, and he immediately responded, i couldn't care less about money in palm beach. but i think that as he told us, he was pissed, the senator was, and i think that that's one of the main reasons why shannon specter wanted to talk about it. >> so, you write this. matthew sanderson, a republican election attorney and a partner at kaplan and dries dale in washington says it's immaterial whether specter took trump up on the offer. you can't say, my friend has a big bag of cash for you if you would drop your investigation. that's a bribe. is this getting a fresh look, legally? >> we'll see. i think there was a lot of gray are
