A Democratic congressman has accused President Donald Trump's sons and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's sons of profiting from a taxpayer-backed mining deal in Kazakhstan, alleging that a US-backed tungsten project allowed both families' children to benefit financially and declaring: 'The fathers set the policy, the sons cashed in.'
Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) made the remark in a lengthy post on X reacting to a New York Times investigation into a tungsten mining agreement between the United States and Kazakhstan, which has drawn scrutiny over the financial interests of both families.
