When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism. We found that the request came directly from the White House. (Published May)

The White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr.
About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

The Proud Boys chose an interesting name: Proud boy definition: gelding In farming and ranch terms, a "proud boy" (or a "proud-cut" gelding) is a male horse that has been castrated, but still acts like an intact stallion. Acts bossy or mean to other horses. Tries to mount mares.

When the federal agents implementing Trump’s mass deportation crusade mistreat, abuse, and fatally shoot residents and citizens of the US, the public deserves answers and accountability. That won’t come from an agency and an administration that routinely lies about these tragedies.
