Newsweek reports:

A former chief ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush raised concerns Saturday that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s billionaire landlord could be trying to influence the senior White House advisers in a manner that would help him to build a sulfide mine in Minnesota that environmentalists call a threat to clean water.

The ex-White House ethics chief, University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter, shared a recent City Pages story about the Chilean copper conglomerate Antofagasta’s plans to build a sulfide-ore mine in Minnesota’s Rainy River watershed, which drains into the protected Boundary Waters wilderness area.
