    Hi Mark,

    I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss me discussing the shocking reporting on President Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and their families profiting from their access to the presidency on MSNOW.

    The New York Times reported on a billion-dollar mining deal with Kazakhstan that both the president’s and Lutnick's sons could profit from.

    Last year, Trump and Lutnick backed a deal giving a little-known American company access to one of the world’s largest untapped tungsten reserves. Weeks later, investors tied to Dominari Securities took a major stake in the company.

    Dominari is headquartered in Trump Tower and is partly owned by Don Jr. and Eric Trump.

    And the self-dealing doesn’t stop there.

    According to the New York Times, around the same time, Cantor Fitzgerald—controlled by Howard Lutnick’s family and overseen by his sons Brandon and Kyle—helped one of the lead investors working with Dominari on the deal raise $210 million in new capital for a related entity.

    Mark, the corruption in this administration is astounding. They would have us believe that Don Jr. and Eric are the luckiest passive investors in the history of passive investment.

    The Trumps have had the most lucrative year of their lives, profiting off the presidency, while Americans are struggling with the cost of groceries, housing, energy and everyday necessities.

    Are we supposed to believe this is all happenstance?

    At CREW, we’ve taken the Trump administration to court, and we’ve exposed these conflicts of interest again and again. We’ve filed legal complaints and records requests to provide the public with answers, we’ve tracked Trump’s blatant conflicts of interest and unprecedented corruption—and we’re fighting to hold him and his administration accountable.

    We will never stop fighting for the functioning democracy Americans deserve.
