Trump Closely Tied to Energy Transfer Partners, Operators of the Dakota Access Oil Pipeline
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Guardian is reporting new details about Donald Trump's close
financial ties to Energy Transfer Partners, operators of the Dakota
Access oil pipeline. Kelcy Warren, the chief executive of Energy
Transfer Partners, has given just over $100,000 to elect Trump and
another $67,000 to the Republican National Committee. In addition,
Trump's financial disclosure forms show he has between $500,000 and $1
million invested in Energy Transfer Partners, with up to another $1
million more in Phillips 66, which will have a 25 percent stake in the
pipeline once it is built.
