Democratic senators have requested information on over a dozen critical mineral deals that may benefit President Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's families. These deals involve more than $8.9 billion in federal funding, according to a New York Times investigation. The senators are concerned about potential conflicts of interest and the merit of the decisions behind these investments. The inquiry also includes scrutiny on the Pentagon's loan approval process for Vulcan Elements, which is linked to Donald Trump Jr.'s previous investments.
