In light of bombshell new corruption allegations against President Donald Trump and his family, a former Republican tore into his past colleagues for being asleep at the wheel in the face of “utterly obscene” abuses of the presidency.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, the New York Times published a report detailing how the president’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are poised to profit from a new deal the federal government just reached with Kazakhstan, granting the U.S. access to key tungsten mines. The deal also appears set to financially enrich the family of Trump’s commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick.<\/p>\n

“According to the lengthy Times report, published Sunday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trump personally helped secure Kazakhstan\u2019s agreement to grant mining rights to a U.S.-backed company, Kaz Resources,” Mediaite explained in a piece about the Times’ finding. The administration also approved preliminary applications for up to $1.6 billion in federal financing for the project, though the funding still requires additional approvals.”<\/p>\n

It added: “Within weeks of those negotiations, investors linked to Dominari Securities, a financial firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, acquired a 20 percent stake in a corporate entity connected to the Kazakhstan venture. Around the same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, controlled by the Lutnick family and overseen by Howard Lutnick\u2019s sons Brandon and Kyle, helped raise $210 million for a related company involved in the transaction.”<\/p>\n

Responding to a post sharing this Mediaite coverage, Joe Walsh, an ex-Republican and outspoken conservative critic of Trump, lashed out against his past colleagues in Congress for letting such corrupt abuses take place.<\/p>\n

“Public corruption, utterly obscene, at a scale we\u2019ve never seen,” Walsh wrote on X. “Why do they do it? [Because] they don\u2019t believe their supporters give a damn about it, and they know the Republican-led Congress won\u2019t do a damn thing about it.”<\/p>\n

Walsh previously served as a Republican representative in Congress from Illinois, between 2011 and 2013. In light of Trump’s ascendance in the party, he became a prominent conservative opponent of his agenda, ultimately leaving the party to become an independent in 2020. In 2025, he went a step further and began referring to himself as a “conservative Democrat.”<\/p>\n
