At the height of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for re-election in 2024, Trump gathered with his sons and longtime friend Steve Witkoff to launch a new money machine: a crypto company called World Liberty Financial. Since its launch less than two years ago, the company has <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/trump-sons-crypto-billions-1e7f1414?mod=WSJ_TJPOD">earned the Trump family at least $1.2 billion dollars</a>. It turns out much of that has come from secret business dealings with foreign-owned companies.
