APNewsBreak: Trump Jr. partners with donor who pitched gov't

NEW YORK (AP) Donald Trump Jr. has a previously undisclosed business relationship with a longtime hunting buddy who helped raise millions of dollars for his fathers 2016 presidential campaign and has had special access to top government officials since the election, records obtained by The Associated Press show.
The presidents eldest son and Texas hedge fund manager Gentry Beach have been involved in business deals together dating back to the mid-2000s and recently formed a company Future Venture LLC despite past claims by both men that they were just friends, according to previously unreported court records and other documents obtained by AP.
Beach last year met with top National Security Council officials to push a plan that would curb U.S. sanctions in Venezuela and open up business for U.S. companies in the oil-rich nation.
