Jonathan Murray of Murray Energy, once the largest privately-owned coal company in America, was a Trump donor and vocal supporter as well as a long-time GOP donor. You can check the DeSmog link for the sorry history of the polluting, climate-change denying company.
He has also been sued for molesting two children. In the first suit, his ex-wife claimed he molested their daughter. She was twelve when the alleged incidents took place. In the other suit, a woman D. G. claims that Murray was in a “godfather” role toward her daughter and he occasionally acted as caretaker. She alleged that during those caretaker times, he molested her daughter. The allegations are made separately and at different times, but are strikingly similar.
