Trump's North Charleston company not getting environmental cleanup agreement with S.C.
As The Post and Courier reported in 2015, Trump's D B Pace Acquisition gained control of the North Charleston property by foreclosing on a multimillion-dollar loan to Titan Atlas, which Donald Trump Jr. had co-signed. The senior Trump acquired the loan from lender Deutsche Bank, relieving his son of potential liability to the bank. He then foreclosed on the property, leaving Titan Atlas company's state and local tax debts unpaid.
Neither Trump's company nor the company co-owned by his son has been accused of polluting the property, but the property is an environmental cleanup site. That's because Lockheed Martin Corp. operated a business there more than 25 years ago that manufactured bonded and riveted aircraft parts and spare parts, according to DHEC.
Lockheed Martin remains responsible for cleaning up the site, but when Trump's company sought a voluntary cleanup contract to protect D B Pace Acquisition from potential liability, questions were raised about Trump's connections with South Carolina officials, and his company's connection to the prior ownership of the property that involved his son. Some news reports have noted that South Carolina's new governor, Henry McMaster, was a leading Trump supporter.
"Jeff fielded the first round of inquiries from the NYT reporter before we knew there was a connection to Trump," DHEC's chief communications officer, Jennifer Read, said in January. "After we learned of the connection between this applicant and the president-elect, Jeff was removed as a spokesperson for this topic and another public information officer immediately took over fielding all inquiries related to this matter."

No wonder he wants less EPA , see how the Trumps and the elites work. They want less government involvement in business affairs, but yet he can slam Nordstroms. It just so , well there are no words for such a long history of unethical behavior.
