Check out the headline of this ProPublica story that was published this morning: “Donald Trump Jr. Went to Mongolia, Got Special Treatment From the Government and Killed an Endangered Sheep”🤬😡🤬😡
ProPublica got its hands on records about a trip Trump Jr. took to Mongolia over the summer. Records and interviews confirmed that Trump killed an argali, an endangered species of large mountain sheep that have made their homes in a remote region of Western Mongolia.
The right to kill an argali is granted via an “opaque permitting system” that experts say require “money, connections and politics.”

Trump Jr. reportedly got a permit to kill an argali in September, after he left the region.
He met with the president of Mongolia soon after and then left the country. ProPublica says the US and Mongolia supported Trump Jr.’s trip, including by giving him security services.
“What are the chances the Mongolian government would’ve done any of that to someone who wasn’t the son of the United States’ president?” Kathleen Clark, a professor specializing in legal ethics at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, told ProPublica.
