Halt the Trump Jr. $620M Pentagon Backroom Deal Payday

Halt the Trump Jr. $620M Pentagon Backroom Deal Payday A bombshell ProPublica investigation has exposed blatant corruption at the highest levels of our government, and I am writing to demand you forcefully oppose it. Top White House aide Peter Navarro intervened to fast-track a staggering $620 million Pentagon loan to Vulcan Elements—a tiny startup with under 50 employees. Just three months prior, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm acquired an undisclosed stake in this exact company. Pentagon staff were forced into overdrive to bypass normal vetting procedures for a firm linked directly to the President’s son, inflating its valuation tenfold overnight. Furthermore, another drone company Trump Jr. owns shares in is currently under review for defense funding. This is not national security; it is unchecked nepotism and self-dealing funded by American taxpayers. Our defense budget must protect our nation, not enrich the president's family through backroom favors. As my representative, I urge you to immediately halt all expedited funding to Vulcan Elements, subpoena all communications regarding White House interference in the Office of Strategic Capital, and implement ironclad guardrails to permanently ban Pentagon spending from benefiting the families of executive officials.
