Donald Trump Jr.'s Business Associate Enjoys Special Access to Top U.S. Officials
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Guardian is reporting President Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., has a
previously undisclosed business relationship with Texas hedge fund
manager Gentry Beach, who has enjoyed special access to top U.S.
officials since Trump took office. Last year, Beach met with top
officials from the National Security Council to push a plan to increase
business opportunities in Venezuela. He's also attended a private lunch
with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Ethics experts question whether
Beach has gained the access to top administration officials because of
his business relationship with Trump's son.
