Trump Intervened In FBI HQ Project To Protect His Hotel, Democrats Allege
President Trump intervened in a big federal building project to help protect business for his hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, a group of House Democrats alleged on Thursday.
Trump wants to demolish and rebuild the FBI's headquarters, the Democrats say,
to preserve the site's government ownership and
deny any potential compe ors to the Trump International Hotel at the Old Post Office Pavilion up the street.
The Democrats called that an abuse of power and a violation of the regulations that are supposed to protect such arrangements from political influence

Ivanka's fashion brand awarded 16 Chinese trademarks:
https://www.citizensforethics.org/iv...mp-trademarks/Presidential adviser Ivanka Trump’s fashion brand won first trial approval for 16 new trademarks from the Chinese government in October. These approvals come about three months after Ivanka announced that her brand was shutting down, and mark the largest number of new Chinese trademarks she has received in a single month since President Donald Trump took office.
Ivanka announced the immediate closure of her brand in July 2018, citing her official government responsibilities in Washington, DC. However, her trademarks remain a potential conflict of interest as she continues to work on policy in the White House and meet with foreign leaders.
Despite shutting down, Ivanka Trump’s brand will continue to seek new trademarks, according to public reports. This leaves open the possibility that she could resume her business after leaving her role in the White House. She retains ownership over all of her existing trademarks, and many of her trademarks will remain active as late as 2028.
$100,000 for Don Jr. to sell condos in India:
https://theweek.com/5things/808002/t...xpayers-100000Donald Trump Jr. traveled to India for business in February, and racked up a $97,805 tab that was covered by taxpayer money, public records show. Trump Jr. took the trip as the executive vice president of his family's real estate company, with the intention of selling luxury condominium projects. The Secret Service accompanied him. Other costs included hotel rooms, airfare, and car rentals. During his trip, he met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and hosted champagne dinners for prospective buyers. Watchdog organizations said Trump Jr.'s spending on business dealings that enrich the entire Trump family represent a conflict of interest. "Essentially the government is spending money for the president’s private businesses," said Jordan Libowitz of the group Citizens for Responsibility
The Trash brand and properties have already take a serious.
When Mueller gets done with Trash, air-head, ditzy Ivanka's crap will have even less of a financial future.
Once DT's fraud and money laundering some out into the open, it will get ugly. I would be some solid money that at least one of his children ends up in jail. They really are that dumb.

Don Jr. gets into the hydroponic lettuce biz to help a buddy
https://www.propublica.org/article/t...stration-fundsDonald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, took a stake last year in a startup whose co-chairman is a major Trump campaign fundraiser who has sought financial support from the federal government for his other business interests, according to records obtained by ProPublica.
The fundraiser, Texas money manager Gentry Beach, and Trump Jr. attended college together, are godfather to one of each other’s sons and have collaborated on investments — and on the Trump presidential campaign. Since Trump’s election, Beach has attempted to obtain federal assistance for projects in Asia, the Caribbean and South America, and he has met or corresponded with top officials in the National Security Council, Interior Department and Overseas Private Investment Corporation.
Beach and others at the startup, Eden Green Technology, have touted their connections to the first family to impress partners, suppliers and others, according to five current and former business associates. Richard Venn, an early backer of Eden Green, recalls the company’s founder mentioning “interest from the Trump family.” Another associate said Beach bragged about his ties to the Trumps in a business meeting.
The investment is one of just a handful of known business ventures pursued by Trump Jr. since his father moved into the White House almost two years ago. In addition to being a top campaign surrogate and public booster, Trump Jr. serves as an executive vice president of his father’s company and one of just two trustees of the trust holding the president’s assets.
oldie but a goodie.
a well-timed contribution to Manhattan DA Cy Vance Jr's re-election campaign may have save Ivanka and Don Jr. from facing criminal fraud charges in 2012:

Kushner family seeking massive billion dollar federal loan to purchase real estate properties
The family of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law is reportedly seeking a $1.15 billion in federal loans to purchase apartments in Virginia and Maryland, reports Bloomberg.
According to the report, Kushner Companies, the real-estate firm owned by White House adviser Jared Kushner’s family is
seeking the funds from federally-owned lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The loans would then be used to purchase “6,030 apartments across 16 properties,”
“President Trump appointed Joseph Otting to oversee the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates Fannie and Freddie.
Otting previously served as CEO of OneWest Bank, founded by now-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, an ally of Kushner’s in the West Wing.”

I think Trump put the lie to a lot of right-wing people who claim they cared about something. "executive orders" "moral tone of president" "cons ution" "deficits" etc.
