Businesses tied to President Donald Trump’s family and associates stand to receive as much as $21 million in government loans designed to shore up payroll expenses for companies struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to federal data released Monday.

A hydroponic lettuce farm backed by Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr., applied for at least $150,000 in Small Business Administration funding. Albert Hazzouri, a dentist frequently spotted at Mar-a-Lago, asked for a similar amount.

Several companies connected to the president’s son-in-law and White House adviser, Jared Kushner, could get upward of $6 million.

After resisting releasing the names, the government bowed to pressure from critics and watchdog groups.

Just another day in the corrupt Trump world.
