Every Friday, The Watchdog Report releases THE LIST, an ongoing literal list enumerating the members of the Trump Administration who need to be the subject of a Congressional investigation when Democrats retake control of Congress, and with it, the power of the congressional gavel (and subpoena pen). THE LIST includes Ed Martin, Ballard Partners, and US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, Kash Patel, Garrett Wade, aka “Johnny MAGA,” Ben Yoho (CEO of The Strategy Group) Tricia McLaughlin, Corey Lewandowski, Powerus, American Ventures LLC & Foundation Industries. In keeping with our recent theme of keeping track of Trump-family-backed enterprises that are the beneficiaries of US government resources, US construction group Skyline Builders (Nasdaq: SKBL) has just made THE LIST.
According to the Financial Times, a company backed by two of US President Donald Trump’s sons reportedly invested in a mining group that is developing a $1.1 billion tungsten project in Kazakhstan. The report details how both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have been using a shell company to buy stakes in US construction group Skyline Builders (Nasdaq: SKBL), which on Thursday merged with Cove Kaz Capital Group, the unit of New York-based mining investment group Cove Capital that was awarded the tungsten project last year and that in order “to fund its projected $1.1 billion development cost, 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.”
How is it that so many companies with ties to the Trump children intersect with so many US-financed enterprises? When it comes to “investments” made by the US Export-Import Bank, are those decision-makers aware of the financial interests of the First Family? Are these companies seeking to gain US government financing using their relationship with the First Family to gain a competitive advantage? Democrats in Congress need to take a financial forensic autopsy to every single deal that involves American taxpayer dollars and the First Family.

Thank you again for bravely fighting corruption.
Once a sincere DOJ is in place they will need every fired and retired attorney to straighten this mess out. Thank you for keeping track.
