What happened

The site is the former Yugoslav Army headquarters bombed by NATO in 1999. Approvals moved forward despite a forged-document controversy involving Serbian officials that had briefly clouded the project's legal status.

Why it matters

Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser stood to profit from a foreign development requiring favorable treatment from the Serbian government while he held a White House advisory role, and approvals proceeded despite documented irregularities.
