Donald Trump’s new acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, was involved in a company that scammed US military veterans out of their life savings, according to court filings and interviews. Emails filed as evidence to the case showed desperate customers begging Cooper and his team for their money back. Another inventor who paid $12,000 said he was left with “a stress related condition that is eating away at my hair”. Gwendolyn Artman said she received approximately 25 emails from WPM that touted the backgrounds of Whitaker and other board members. Only after she complained to the office of Florida’s attorney general did Cooper call – pleading with her to withdraw the complaint and promising to make amends.
