Donald Trump’s sons’ financial ties to a major mining project backed by their father’s administration have apparently rankled even some within the president’s inner circle.
A New York Times investigation found that Donald Trump Jr., 48, and Eric Trump, 42, became financially linked to a major tungsten mining project in Kazakhstan shortly after the Trump administration helped secure the deal and signaled it could provide up to $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Trump administration officials involved in the deal told The Times, speaking anonymously, that they were disappointed by the involvement of the Trump family—as well as the family of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick—in projects the government itself is helping to finance.
