Polls and Reports Detail Trump Family's Financial Ties to Presidency
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 69% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s private business interests influence his decisions as president, and 63% find it inappropriate for him and his family to profit from cryptocurrency ventures while in office. Reuters calculated that the Trump family made $2.3 billion from four main crypto projects, while World Liberty Financial funneled over $1.6 billion to the Trump family. Separately, an AP-NORC poll showed that most Americans believe Donald Trump is profiting from the presidency in unethical or illegal ways.
