White House rejects conflict-of-interests concerns as Trump’s crypto earnings soar – US politics live

According to The Guardian, the White House defended President Trump against conflict-of-interest concerns as his family's cryptocurrency holdings posted substantial gains. The president recorded approximately one point two billion dollars in income from crypto activities, and a White House spokesperson responded to critics by saying Trump has "proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world."
