Crypto, real estate, watches: How Trump made over $1 billion last year
Trump鈥檚 latest financial disclosure report showed from various crypto holdings, overshadowing a real estate business that brought him fame and helped propel him to the nation鈥檚 top office.
Whereas it took decades for Trump to amass his various properties, the rise of crypto in his portfolio was done in just over a year.
Running over 900 pages, the mandatory annual report showed Trump struck several other new veins of wealth last year, raising questions about whether he is profiting from his high office.
He took in tens of millions from new property holdings in foreign countries eager to please a man with power over where to deploy the U.S. military and how much to charge in tariffs. And he got tens of million more suing media companies worried they could lose their broadcast licenses or not get deals approved by his regulators.
Ever the salesman, Trump even made big money off the smallest of things, pulling in millions by slapping his name on Bibles, guitars and watches 鈥� the latter alone bringing in $4.7 million.

Ex-CIA Director John Brennan seeks court order requiring records from investigations be preserved
sued the Trump administration Wednesday, demanding a court order that would require officials to preserve records from investigations that he says are targeting him for 鈥渨hat amounts to phantom criminal conduct.鈥�
says the records would shed light on the motivations of government officials who are investigating Brennan and would form the basis of defense efforts to dismiss any eventual indictment on grounds that the case constitutes a vindictive prosecution.
Such an argument, his lawyers said, would be supported by the more than 100 verbal or written statements that has made since 2017 lambasting Brennan and by the Republican president鈥檚 directives to his Justice Department to initiate investigations of Brennan 鈥渨ithout regard to factual or legal justification.鈥�
Without an order, the lawsuit contends, the records are at risk of being lost or intentionally deleted.
