Former ethics lawyer says Trump's crypto poses 'clear conflict of interest'

By A MartínezJuly 2, 2026·Source: NPR·7 views
President Donald Trump departs the White House on May 22, 2025, in Washington. Trump traveled to his Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, where he held a dinner for top investors in his $TRUMP cryptocurrency.

Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter says President Trump "stands alone" in having substantial financial conflicts of interest and that, "for every other executive branch official, it would be a violation."
