- ABC News deleted a report criticizing the business dealings of President Donald Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, on Thursday after facing legal threats.
- The since-deleted report claimed venture capital firm 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner, claimed a major stake in Anduril Industries from a $2.5 billion investment in June 2025.
- Alexa Henning, spokeswoman for 1789 Capital, disputed the report late Wednesday, stating the firm does not have a 'major stake' in Anduril and that companies receive government contracts regardless of political administration.
- Donald Trump Jr. wrote that "ABC deleted this article in less than 24 hours because its false," while the network provided no public correction or explanation for the removal.
- A DOD official stated that "outside affiliations, investors, or political connections play absolutely no role" in funding decisions, noting Anduril has held contracts dating back to 2019.
