Trump's Financial Disclosure Shows $1B+ in Crypto Earnings
President Trump's latest financial filing reveals he earned over $1 billion from cryptocurrency ventures in the past year.
President Donald Trump's most recent financial disclosure filing offers an unusually candid window into the personal wealth of a sitting president, with cryptocurrency ventures emerging as the dominant story.
