Donald Trump Jr.

Overview

Business executive and investor who joined 1789 Capital in 2024 and Dominari Holdings' advisory board in 2025. Dominari-associated American Ventures invested in XWELL in February 2026.

His documented private-sector affiliations intersect with investors in companies later receiving federal awards; influence over those decisions has not been established.

Background

Donald Trump Jr. has held business roles at the Trump Organization and is a son of President Donald Trump. He became a partner at 1789 Capital in November 2024.

Dominari relationship

Dominari filings identify Donald Trump Jr. as an advisory board member and shareholder. The company reported a February 10, 2025 advisory agreement and equity grants. Dominari's associated American Ventures investment platform financed XWELL in February 2026.

Federal-award reporting

ProPublica reported that XWELL subsidiary XpresTest subsequently received CDC and State Department awards. A spokesperson characterized the sons as passive minority fund investors with no involvement or knowledge of contract procurement. The investment chain is documented; personal involvement in procurement is not.
