Adam Schefter Releases Major Statement About Robert Kraft’s Prostitution Scandal

Adam Schefter made a “Bigger than Robert Kraft” report, and many said that he was just trying to shift the attention to a different side.

The ESPN NFL reporter reported that a bigger name than Robert Kraft is involved in the Florida investigation into prostitution soliciting and sex trafficking. Adam Schefter admitted he “maybe should have phrased the gossip differently.” However, he does not say that the mysterious name does not exist.

“Again, I don’t have the name,” Schefter said on the “Pardon My Take” podcast released Tuesday. “I don’t have the name. Because I was not given the name. And, again, maybe I should have framed it a little differently ’cause the story took on a life of its own. And I should have said, ‘There are people down there telling me …’ Now, there are people who tell you things. They sometimes come to be and sometimes don’t.”

Schefter cited a former Citigroup president who was involved in the scandal. However, this report sure distracts from attention poured on Kraft. The Worldwide Leader does not trust this report.

“Wasn’t John Havens, who was second in command at Citigroup, a big name?” Schefter said. “Like I had people from CNBC — I could show you the texts — texting me, literally I could read to you right now: ‘John Havens was caught in the sting. He ran Sales and Trading for Morgan Stanley, was the No. 2 at Citigroup. How can people destroy their lives?’”

This is the first follow-up Schefter made since his Feb. 22 report in which he noted, “I’m told that Robert Kraft is not the biggest name involved down there in South Florida, and we will see what police turn up in the report.” Schefter declined comment through a spokesman to The Post’s Andrew Marchand last week. Let’s see what happens next.
