CORRUPTION UPDATE: ProPublica reports that *Peter Navarro* personally directed the Pentagon to fast-track a $620M loan to Vulcan Elements, a brand-new two-year-old NC startup that enriches his close buddy & Trump son Don Jr. Of dozens of companies under consideration, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. Staff worked overtime to get it done for Navarro. Yes, the same Peter Navarro who went to prison after Jan. 6.

We found that the request came directly from the White House. https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-jr-vulcan-deal-white-house?utm_campaign=propublica-sprout&utm_content=1788318002&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
