Dispute Between Trump Allies Centers on $17 Million Payment From Congo
A White House inquiry is examining the differing accounts given by Richard Grenell and Alina Habba Mildon about a $17 million transfer from a Congolese government account to a Texas defense firm.
The White House is looking into a dispute between two allies of U.S. President Donald Trump, Richard Grenell and Alina Habba Mildon. At its center is a $17 million transfer from a government account in the African country of Congo to a defense company based in Texas.
The inquiry is focused on the fact that Grenell and Habba Mildon give diverging accounts of the transaction, according to The New York Times.
The source does not say what the payment was for, name the Texas firm, or describe the two people's specific roles, so those questions remain open for now.
