The president’s eldest son said through a spokesperson that he wasn’t involved. The Pentagon said Trump Jr. played no role in the record-setting deal. And the startup’s founder told reporters that his company, Vulcan Elements, received no political favoritism.

But interviews and Defense Department records reviewed by ProPublica show that the request to loan hundreds of millions of dollars to the firm linked to Trump Jr. was made by Peter Navarro, a White House adviser to President Donald Trump and a friend of Trump Jr.’s.

          Rocket fuel = explosive, so you’re good. Only consideration, that use case is only sold under Explosive X package. You pay more for the extra feels.

      All the drones. And the cyber! You’ve heard of the cyber, right? In fact, we’ve developed a drone that only kills the bad people. It’s amazing. Perhaps you’ve seen their work in Gaza?
