00:02President Trump defended his family's business dealings during a Thursday interview with CNBC's
00:07Joe Kernan in the Oval Office. Trump said the presidency is so powerful that almost
00:13anything his children do could be viewed as a conflict because presidential policy affects
00:18nearly every part of the economy. He said he tells his children to stay away, but added that
00:24they had business interests before he ran for president. His comments came after his 2025
00:29annual financial disclosure report showed more than $580 million in crypto-related income.
00:35That included about $515 million from Trump-linked World Liberty financial token sales and $65 million
00:42from sales of equity in WLF's holding company. Trump said there was nothing illegal or wrong
00:49with the crypto venture. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
