/1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Many whistleblowers inside the White House have provided info to the cmtee about " efforts inside the White House to rush the transfer of U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia."
That's illegal.
/2
The best 123 agreement is the "Gold Standard" which requires the country to promise to not enrich fuel or increase proliferation. Saudi Arabia refuses to abide by this.
So, no nuke trade with them.
/3
The first report from this cmtee in Feb '19 talked about corporations using influence to get nuclear reactors built in Saudi Arabia.
This report is based on 60k pages of documents received SINCE Feb.
/4
IP3 International is a group of US companies wanting to build reactors in SA (Saudi Arabia.) IP3 met directly with Trump, Kushner, Perry, Mnuchin, Rexxon, Ross, etc etc. It called the entire Trump administration an "extended team member."
/5
Tom Barrack (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J.….) , Trump friend and billionaire, worked with IP3 & worked with members of the admin to transfer nuke tech to SA & tried to help his own company Colony NorthStar to profit from same deals.
/6
It is clear from Trump's words that he is still negotiating with SA over "opening up Saudi Arabia." This has caused everyone in the industry much concern.
Gen Flynn was advisor to IP3 & offered to use his political contacts to assist IP3's business goals.
/7
May 2016: Tom Barrack with Saudi officials wrote/edited Trump's energy speech.
During the transition: IP3 used Flynn & Trump's support to offer a 10% share of the company to MBS for $120m.
/8
IP3 & Barrack teamed up with Blackstone & Apollo (Steve Schwarzman) and tried to purchase Westinghouse. Docs mention 30+ reactors in the Middle East that Westinghouse will build if the deal goes through.
/9
IP3 deal for Westinghouse failed.
Brookfield wanted Westinghouse, so Barrack joined them.
IP3 teamed with Korean KEPCO to get the reactors built using US technology.
IP3 wages propaganda war against bipartisan congress efforts to stop deal with SA.
/10
White House & Trump Admin & Fed agencies have refused to cooperate with Oversight cmtee. Many have used personal email & text accounts!
The docs on hand are from WH officials and outside sources like the companies involved.

What if the mob gave $150k to every startup business in your town? Would that favour ever be called in? What would that do to those businesses? #YuriMilner
