New drone maker partly owned by Trump sons hopes to win Pentagon contracts

Among dozens of companies competing for Pentagon contracts to supply attack drones, one stands out: Powerus, flush with cash and ballooning in size as it buys up rivals. It also has another advantage. It is partly owned by President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons. The stake is the latest in a string of new investments by the sons, especially Don Jr., in companies with federal contracts. The Trump Organization did not respond to a request to comment on the potential conflict, but issued statement from Eric saying he is proud of his investments.
