His name appeared on the manifest of an Epstein flight. He also has zero qualifications for the position of Secretary of the Navy other than being a Trump fundraiser.
“Phelan, a businessman with no prior military service, was previously the founder and chairman of Rugger Management LLC, a private investment firm he formed in 2022, before being confirmed as secretary of the Navy in March 2025.
Phelan and his wife are prominent art collectors and fundraised millions for President Donald Trump’s campaign, including holding a high-dollar fundraising dinner for Trump in August 2024.”
