Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have quietly raked in billions as the Pentagon has invested in new defense technology, according to a new Washington Post investigation published Monday. President Donald Trump's sons have made significant investments in military-related startups, "further entangling the United States' interests and the Trump family's financial fortunes in an area with immense stakes for national security," The Post reported.

The pair have refused, citing cost overruns and saying they are effectively bankrupt, the outlet reported. Boosie told NOTUS he signed on after hearing the firm's pitch late last September.
