希拉里·克林顿称特朗普政府对总统而言 ‘进展顺利’，同时分享了有关加密货币腐败的指控
Hillary Clinton criticized the Trump administration for alleged corruption, referencing accusations from Rep. Greg Casar regarding the Trump family's financial gains from cryptocurrency ventures. Clinton stated that the administration benefits Trump while the public faces rising costs. The Trump family's wealth surged with the launch of their cryptocurrency, WLD, raising concerns among Democrats about potential corruption. Additionally, scrutiny surrounds a Qatari jet deal and Trump's approval of a merger following a settlement payment. A regulatory framework for cryptocurrency has been proposed by Senate Democrats to address these issues.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a dig at President Donald Trump on Tuesday for using his office for personal gain.
Clinton Attacks Trump Administration
Clinton quoted an X post from Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), who accused Trump and his family of corruption, citing the reported $5 billion fortune from World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token, a $400 million plane from Qatar and deals with Amazon and CBS.
"Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries. Corruption, plain and simple," Casar said.
Clinton backed up the allegations, stating, “The Trump administration is going great… for Trump.”
The White House didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment.
Trump’s Crypto Deals Under Scrutiny
The Trump family saw a sharp increase in their paper wealth following the trading debut of their flagship cryptocurrency venture's new cryptocurrency, WLD. At the current price, their stake was worth $4.60 billion.
While the family’s share of tokens remains locked, the financial gains prompted further scrutiny. Senior Democratic lawmaker Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) described it, like Casar, as corruption.
Notably, a dozen Senate Democrats unveiled a cryptocurrency regulatory framework, directly challenging the first family’s business ties to digital assets.
The Qatar Plane Deal
Concerns have also been raised about the conversion of a Qatari 747 jet, which Trump received as a "gift," into the new Air Force, with experts saying it could end up costing taxpayers over $1 billion and take several years.
Additionally, Trump's approval of a Paramount-Skydance merger shortly after receiving a $16 million settlement payment and First Lady Melania Trump's collaboration with Amazon on a documentary about her life, have raised eyebrows.
