THE AGENDA: Trump Family Conflicts-of-Interest

Follow The Trump Family $$$

Every Monday, The Watchdog Report publishes THE AGENDA, a blueprint for Democrats in Congress to reassert themselves as a coequal branch of government. In recent week’s, it’s become clear that Democrats are going to need to create a Special Select Committee to exclusively focus on all the conflicts-of-interests that are mounting between the Trump Family’s financial interests/investments and how federal taxpayer dollars are being allocated.

Here’s this week’s edition of THE AGENDA:

• As we outlined in THE LIST on Friday, the Financial Times reported that the US Export-Import Bank and US International Development Finance Corporation have each expressed interest in funding up to $900 million and $700 million, respectively, in a mining group that is invested in by the Trump sons.

• Just a few weeks ago, the New York Times published a story detailing how Jared & Ivanka are negotiating a luxury hotel with Syrian billionaires who are also lobbying their father to lift economic sanctions.

• At this exact moment, Trump is shaking down the IRS for $10 billion. They’re in talks to settle. Let that sink in: A government agency is in talks for a massive financial settlement with the sitting President of the United States who has the authority to hire/fire/appoint the powers-that-be at said agency.
