Months after a fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump put about $30 million into a nearly bankrupt spa company, the Trump administration awarded that company nearly $40 million in federal contracts to screen for Ebola.
The company made most of its money from airport spas and waxing salons.
It had never worked with Ebola.
It had never worked overseas.
Yet part of the money is for work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people this year. The company's CEO said, "I'm not sure we can do it."
This keeps happening. The same Trump-linked fund invested in a drone company, and five months later that company got an Air Force contract worth up to $90 million. A startup linked to Trump Jr. got a $620 million Pentagon loan after a top White House aide stepped in.
Their fund buys in, and federal money follows. Taxpayers foot the bill, and with Ebola, our safety is on the line too.
This is all totally corrupt.
Americans deserve answers under oath, and our conflict of interest and procurement laws must be enforced.

Nick Wright: Clay Travis isn’t actually one of the dumbest people alive. He just pretends to be for money.
Clay Travis: I swear to God I’m genuinely one of the dumbest people alive
Trump: *a brief spark of joy flashes on his face as he glances at his phone*
Stephen Miller: What is it, papa bear?
Trump: *quickly angling phone away* It's nothing.
This will get missed in the news of Jensen resigning, but it's super important.
Singapore says it was holding Alice Huang's passport thru Feb 2026, but got little help from the U.S. in its investigation. Trump was briefed on Alice in fall 2025.
That means the U.S. did nothing for months as Singapore held a Chinese spy who the U.S. knew was in a relationship with the most important person in A.I. Hard to understand. https://t.co/O8Yh5PLVVB
