The Daily News: Trump administration showers Brazilian crooks with $62M bailout money meant for struggling U.S. farmers
The Trump administration has forked over more than $62 million — taxpayer cash that was supposed to be earmarked for struggling American farmers — to a massive meatpacking company owned by a couple of corrupt Brazilian brothers.
How’s this story going to play in farm country? Watchdog groups want to know why a company owned by Brazilian brothers got money that could have really helped American farmers.
This @C_Sommerfeldt story is a perfect exemplar of the Trump era.
It's got sweeping corruption, payoffs to cronies, foreign influence, a stupid trade war component, and Americans getting screwed while foreign criminals prosper.https://t.co/ERM4cJrxWk
