According to Reuters, President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was granted the right to “hunt a grizzly bear” in northwestern Alaska.

“The son of U.S. President Donald Trump was one of three people who applied for 27 spots for non-resident hunters targeting grizzlies in a designated region of northwestern Alaska’s Seward Peninsula, said Eddie Grasser, the wildlife conservation director for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,” Reuters’ Yereth Rosen reports.
