Catawba Two Kings Casino in Kings Mountain is under federal investigation after family members of two South Carolina lawmakers were linked to it.

Documents show the brother of U.S. Rep. James Clyburn and the husband of former Gov. Nikki Haley were given shares of Kings Mountain Equipment Supply LLC.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the former governor was not involved.

The casino project was approved during the Trump administration when Haley was the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. The Wall Street Journal said Haley did not advocate for the casino project to the Trump administration.

The National Indian Gaming Commission confirmed that it’s investigating the situation.

For every dollar Two Kings makes through slot machines, Kings Mountain Equipment Supply profits 20 cents, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Clyburn’s brother worked with the Catawba Nation and was given shares, according to the Wall Street Journal’s report.

The office of Clyburn, the House majority whip, did not have a comment Monday. However, the Wall Street Journal reported Clyburn did not know about his brother’s affairs.

“I don’t care,” Clyburn said. “He gets to make a living. I don’t get his permission, and I don’t give him mine.”

The assistant chief to Catawba Nation agreed with an interview with WSOC Monday afternoon but later canceled.

The group sent a statement instead that read, “To the extent that the NIGC has identified area of concern in its review, we have made corrections or are now actively engaged in resolving those concerns with them.”

Two Kings is currently housed in temporary trailers off Exit 5 of I-85 while the permanent casino and resort are being built. There’s no word yet on if the investigation will impact that construction.

Casino customer Richard Archer said this report won’t influence whether he continues to go to Two Kings.

“No, not at all,” Archer said. “I don’t think it’s got anything to do with the casino.”
