According to financial disclosures, after their family business made huge profits through cryptocurrency operations, President Trump stated on Thursday that he was not aware of the scale of his digital assets holdings, but emphasized that his involvement in the business was not illegal. Earlier this week, Trump disclosed that he had earned at least $1.4 billion in income from cryptocurrency and meme coin related companies by 2025. Trump, who has handed over the business operations to his eldest and second son, was asked during an interview if he was aware of these cryptocurrency investment projects. "I could have known these details," Trump said during an interview at the White House. "But I did not look into it." "There is nothing illegal about this, nothing improper," Trump said when discussing his dealings with the family business.
