A startling exposé revealed that President Donald Trump helped his sons score a billion-dollar mining deal in Kazakhstan.

The bombshell New York Times report Sunday revealed shocking details of self-dealing, ethical violations and major profits using the power of the United States presidency.

"It was not only Trump and [Howard] Lutnick who saw an opportunity," the report said about the mining deal for the metal tungsten. "Their sons were soon doing business with partners in a deal that their fathers were negotiating, continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in the second Trump administration that has few precedents in American history."

"Within weeks of St. Regis negotiations, investors with a firm called Dominari Securities, which is housed at Trump Tower in New York and partly owned by the president's two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, joined with other partners to take a 20 percent stake in a corporate entity related to the Kazakhstan project," the report continued.

"Right in front of our faces. Zero attempt to hide or conceal it. Absolute, total self-enrichment at a magnitude we have never really seen. And every week brings a new story just like it. They're getting richer at every opportunity," wrote Isaac Saul, the founder of Tangle News, about the report.

Reporter Ryan Grim, who runs Drop Site News, commented, "The level of criminality here is breathtaking. I don’t wanna hear MAGA claim they love this country and are deep patriots when Trump is robbing the country blind. You don’t do this to a country you love."

Co-host of "The Blocked and Reported" podcast, Jesse Singal, posted an excerpt and commented, "Really helpless feeling about where we're at. There's a historic (by American standards) level of corruption and looting going on right now and the party that could stop it is fine with it. And since it is cult of personality his supporters cheer it!"

He added, "Trump's an all-time evil genius, in his way. He exploited a legitimate sentiment held by many Americans, which is that the richest inhabit a corrupt world, hidden from view, in which different rules apply, and won office despite being the very embodiment of that problem. The stuff that has gone on since his reelection is way more important than most of the stuff that gets attention on social media."

The "problem," he said, is that the average person can't do much other than say it's "bad."

New York Times columnist David French lamented, "And to add to the injustice and absurdity, Trump is likely to pardon everyone involved, including himself. And we've barely even begun to talk about the national security implications of Trump's international graft."

History professor Salim Yaqub noted that one way to help would be "restoring the ability of one or both houses of Congress to investigate and hold hearings[.]"
