What was said
"The call came from the White House, quote, we have to get this done, the person said. When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a small North Carolina startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials in the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism."
ProPublica reported that the White House, through Peter Navarro, personally intervened to secure a $620 million Pentagon loan for Vulcan Elements, a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr. The deal was initiated by the White House and Pentagon staff were told to work at an unusually rapid pace with little sleep to complete it in weeks, raising questions about political favoritism.
