The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump’s 927-page annual financial disclosure, released by the Office of Government Ethics this week, listed roughly $2.2 billion in assets and more than $1 billion in income tied to his family’s cryptocurrency ventures. In a televised interview, Trump said he was not involved in the ventures and denied any illegality. The filing included hundreds of millions of dollars linked to the $TRUMP token and other family crypto businesses. Congressional Democrats are preparing potential House oversight investigations if they regain the majority.
