‘DFC turning into piggybank for President’: Meeks rips DFC CEO over Trump, Lutnick’s mining deal

Rep. Gregory Meeks grills the DFC chief over a controversial mining deal involving Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and questions whether the agency is becoming a financial backstop for President Donald Trump’s family. Meeks raises concerns that the deal could benefit Trump’s son while pressing the DFC CEO over potential conflicts of interest and the use of taxpayer-backed financing. The heated exchange puts the Trump administration’s foreign investment strategy, DFC funding and the Lutnick-linked mining deal under fresh congressional scrutiny.
