Trump allies are calling for the federal government to punish Deloitte after an employee at the consulting firm apparently shared his private messages with JD Vance. The attacks on Deloitte are just the latest example of major American companies getting targeted by former President Donald Trump or those in his orbit. Deloitte started to feel the wrath of Trump world immediately after The Washington Post published an explosive story on September 27 that revealed Vance said in a private 2020 message that Trump “thoroughly failed to deliver” his economic agenda. The Post did not reveal who corresponded with Vance, now Trump’s running mate, and leaked those communications. Donald Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest son and a surrogate for the campaign, swiftly responded on social media that same day by revealing what he said was the identity and picture of that Deloitte employee and suggesting his employer pay the price. “Maybe it’s time for the GOP to end Deloitte’s taxpayer funded gravy train?” Trump Jr. wrote on X, noting that Deloitte receives billions of dollars in government contracts. His post was retweeted by a Vance spokesperson and amplified by Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller. Trump Jr. told CNN he was speaking his mind as a private citizen.
