美国众议院司法委员会民主党人已启动对风险投资公司1789 Capital的调查，质疑该公司在Donald Trump Jr加入后资产规模从1.5亿美元暴增至35亿美元的“奇迹”增长可能涉及内幕政治影响与腐败1。委员会民主党领袖Jamie Raskin致信Donald Trump Jr及公司创始人，要求他们在9月9日前提交投资记录以及与民选或联邦官员的通信记录1。
调查指出，Donald Trump Jr于2024年11月其父赢得第二任期后数日加入1789 Capital担任合伙人1。此后，该公司的资产管理规模从2024年的1.5亿美元激增至去年8月的10亿美元和年底的27亿美元，并在5月达到35亿美元，其中40%的资产管理规模来自海外投资者1。民主党人注意到，1789 Capital投资了多家近期获得特朗普政府大额合同或贷款的企业1。例如，该公司于2025年8月向稀土公司Vulcan Elements投资了数百万美元，而五角大楼在去年11月向该企业提供了6.2亿美元直接贷款，商务部也根据《芯片与科学法案》向其提供了5000万美元拨款1。此外，1789 Capital持有军事承包商Anduril Industries的股份，该公司过去一年获得了数十亿美元的政府合同，并声称在特朗普第一任期内收入翻倍，增长率为100%1。调查还提及，两名与1789 Capital有关联的男子已被任命为五角大楼国防政策委员会成员1。
House Judiciary Committee Democrats have launched an investigation into the venture capital firm 1789 Capital, questioning its "miraculous" asset growth following Donald Trump Jr.'s involvement and suspecting insider political influence and corruption 1. Committee Democratic leader Jamie Raskin sent a letter to Trump Jr. and the firm's founders, demanding records of the investment firm and communications with elected or federal officials by September 9 1. Raskin highlighted that the firm has invested in multiple companies that recently secured large contracts or loans from the Trump administration 1.
The scrutiny centers on the firm's explosive financial expansion after Trump Jr. joined as a partner just days after his father won a second term in November 2024 1. 1789 Capital's assets under management surged from $150 million in 2024 to $1 billion in August of last year, $2.7 billion by year-end, and reached $3.5 billion by May, with 40% of these assets originating from overseas investors 1.
The investigation also highlights specific investments linked to government payouts, noting that 1789 Capital invested millions in the rare earth company Vulcan Elements in August 2025 1. This followed a $620 million direct loan from the Pentagon to Vulcan Elements last November and a $50 million grant from the Commerce Department under the CHIPS and Science Act 1. Additionally, the firm holds shares in military contractor Anduril Industries, which has secured billions in government contracts over the past year and reportedly doubled its revenue, achieving a 100% growth rate, during Trump's first term 1. Furthermore, two men associated with 1789 Capital have been appointed to the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board 1.
