In his comments, Schiff highlighted a reported Pentagon-linked contract involving Eric Trump, He said a company associated with him secured a deal worth millions.

“Eric Trump gets a massive Pentagon contract. Melania gets a movie. Donald Trump gets millions in payouts and crypto. They’re all cashing in. And the corruption is killing our economy,” Schiff wrote on X.

The contract, reportedly valued at around $24 million, is linked to a robotics startup developing technology aimed at strengthening US competitiveness against China. Schiff cited the deal as an example of what he described as overlap between political proximity and financial opportunity.
