Eric Trump Flinches at Being Cornered on Crypto Grift

Eric Trump looked visibly uncomfortable Wednesday when pressed about a $500 million Emirati investment in the Trump family crypto business just before his father’s inauguration.

CNBC anchor Sara Eisen grilled Eric Trump and his brother, Donald Trump Jr., about a secret deal involving World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture co-founded by members of the president’s family and Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Jan. 31 that an Emirati-backed firm acquired a 49 percent stake in the company.
