That Proposed U.S. Nuclear "Venture "in Saudi Arabia is treason, you know.
from the NYT article:
The export of American nuclear technology that could be used to create nuclear weapons is strictly controlled under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. The act says that Congress must approve such exports, and at least one of the whistle-blowers claimed that officials involved ignored warnings about such legal requirements.
.........
despite repeated legal and ethical warnings that potential conflicts of interest around the plan could put American security at risk,
Trump and his minions were warned by the Nat. Security Council and other people it was illegal.;they ignored the warnings.
The plot to do so was started almost immediately after the election.It has continued to this day, fortunately with obstacles.
the company backing the nuclear plan, IP3 International, and its allies in the White House were working so closely that the company sent a draft memo to the former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, to circulate just days after the inauguration. Mr. Flynn had worked on the plan for IP3 during the Trump campaign and transition,
Kushner was bribed by one of the players:
"The Cummings report notes that one of the power plant manufacturers that could benefit from a nuclear deal, Westinghouse Electric, is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management , the company that provided financial relief to the family of Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser. "
Note the past tense: "provided" the money.
Tom Barrack was involved..always wondered why he suddenly showed up.
It said that Mr. Trump had appointed Mr. Barrack as a special representative to implement the plan, which it called “the Middle East Marshall Plan.” The memo also directed agencies to support Mr. Barrack’s efforts.
McConnell and other Republicans KNEW, and said nothing.
They KNEW it was a violation of National Security, yet went along.
Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, chairman of the Oversight Committee, first disclosed claims brought to him by one of the whistle-blowers in November 2017, and called on the committee’s Republican chairman at the time to further scrutinize them. The Republicans did not touch it,
No wonder Trump ignored Khashoggi's death.
As of last week, Trump was still working on the plan.
Mr. Trump met with nuclear industry executives at the White House last week to discuss expanding their presence internationally, including in the Middle East. Bloomberg reported that the session was organized by Jack Keane, a retired four-star Army general and one of the founders of IP3 International.

UPDATE:
Lara Trump's brother has a job "advising" the Department of Energy despite having no energy background or experience.
DOE controls our nuclear arsenal, power plants and technology.
AND, who is head of DOE?
