Trump's Kids Face Unavoidable Scrutiny Over Business Ventures New

Trump's Kids Face Unavoidable Scrutiny Over Business Ventures

President Donald Trump on Thursday defended his family's business activities while arguing that the power of the presidency has made it nearly impossible for his children to avoid allegations of conflicts of interest.Speaking in an interview with CNBC's Joe Kernen, Trump said he sympathizes with his children because nearly any business decision they make is scrutinized through the lens of his position in the White House. "I feel badly for my kids. Anything they do ... because the presidency is so powerful, so big, you have a conflict of interest. Almost anything they do, there's a conflict of interest," Trump said in part.The comments come as renewed attention focuses on the Trump family's business ventures following the release of the president's latest financial disclosure report, which detailed $1.4 billion in 2025 income from cryptocurrency-related ventures and other business interests linked to the Trump family. Newsweek has reached out to the Trump Organization via email for comment.Trump Defends Family Business ActivitiesDuring the interview, Trump rejected suggestions that he is using the presidency to benefit himself or his family financially. When Kernen asked how he responds to critics who accuse him of enriching his family through the White House, Trump said he has stepped away from managing his business empire."I don't do anything having to do with my business. My kids run it," Trump said. "I have a lot of money. I made a tremendous amount of money. I let people invest it. I don't even know who they are."Trump argued that his children face unique challenges because decisions made by the federal government can affect virtually every sector of the economy. The president said even routine business decisions, such as "buying a truck," can trigger conflict-of-interest questions because of their connection to him. The president added that he has encouraged his children to keep their distance from potential controversies, while noting they had established business careers long before he entered politics. Trump said he has told his children to "stay away," but acknowledged they also have personal and professional lives separate from his political career.Scrutiny Intensifies Over Second-Term Business TiesQuestions surrounding the Trump family's business interests have followed the president throughout both of his administrations, but critics say those concerns have intensified during his second term as the family's portfolio expands into areas including cryptocurrency, international real estate and private investments.Trump's latest financial disclosure report drew particular attention because it showed substantial income tied to crypto ventures associated with the family. The filing included hundreds of millions of dollars connected to World Liberty Financial and related businesses. Supporters of the president say that Trump has complied with applicable ethics requirements and note that federal conflict-of-interest laws do not require presidents to divest personal assets. Trump underscored that point in the CNBC interview, saying there was "nothing illegal" or improper about the family's business activities. Ethics watchdogs, including Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), along with Democratic lawmakers and former government ethics officials, have argued that the Trump family's expanding business ventures create actual or perceived conflicts of interest.Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate banking committee, accused Trump of “brazen crypto corruption” this week after the financial disclosures revealed his family’s cryptocurrency ventures made more than $1 billion since his return to office.“The crypto legislation heading to the Senate floor must prevent the president, vice-president, senior administration officials, members of Congress, and their families from profiting off the crypto industry,” said Warren in a statement. “If it does not, it will only turbocharge Donald Trump’s brazen crypto corruption.” It's not the first time Warren has issued a warning over Trump's financial dealings with his family. In May 2025, Warren and Sen. Chris Van Hollen sent a letter to President Trump urging him and his family to divest from World Liberty Financial. They wrote that: "Your personal financial entanglements with foreign governments threaten to undermine U.S. national security." ...How Trump's Children Have Managed Business Ventures During His PresidencyTrump's children have long occupied a unique position at the intersection of politics and business. During Trump's first administration, daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, served as senior White House advisers, taking on portfolios that ranged from economic policy to Middle East diplomacy. Both stepped away from their formal government roles after Trump left office in 2021 and did not return to the White House when he began his second term, though Kushner has remained a prominent figure in international business and has at times been involved in discussions related to foreign policy. Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have continued to lead the Trump Organization's business operations, serving as executive vice presidents.Their responsibilities include the company's traditional businesses—golf clubs, hotels, commercial and residential real estate, and international licensing deals—as well as a major expansion into new sectors including cryptocurrency, private clubs, venture capital and branded consumer products. Eric Trump has generally taken the lead on the company's real estate and development projects, frequently announcing new Trump-branded hotels and golf resorts abroad, while Donald Trump Jr. has maintained a larger public profile through political advocacy, media appearances and investments outside the family's core real estate business.The brothers have significantly expanded their business portfolio in recent years. Their highest-profile ventures include co-founding World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance platform that has generated hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family through token sales and a stablecoin business. They also launched American Bitcoin in March 2025, a cryptocurrency mining company, and have backed ventures through 1789 Capital, where Donald Jr. is a partner investing in defense, AI and technology companies. They have pursued international Trump-branded licensing agreements in countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, India and Romania, while expanding into firearms retail, drone technology and politically aligned consumer brands.According to Forbes, Donald Jr.'s net worth increased six fold since between the presidential election in November 2024 and the end of Donald Trump's first year back in office, in December 2025, jumping from $50 million to $300 million.Debate Likely to ContinueThe president's remarks are unlikely to end the broader debate over where the line should be drawn between public office and private business interests. Ethics watchdogs and political opponents have continued to raise concerns about potential conflicts involving Trump-branded businesses and family ventures, while the White House and Trump Organization have repeatedly maintained that appropriate safeguards are in place.For Trump, however, the issue is as much personal as political. His comments Thursday framed the scrutiny as an unavoidable consequence of occupying one of the most powerful offices in the world, arguing that the presidency's reach is so broad that "almost anything" his children do becomes the subject of public examination.Contact Newsweek editors on this story: Gray R.

Trump Admin Faces Backlash Over Controversial Slavery Exhibit Changes New

Trump Admin Faces Backlash Over Controversial Slavery Exhibit Changes

On the eve of America's 250th birthday, an appeals court cleared the way for the Trump administration to revamp the slavery exhibit at the President's House in Philadelphia, in a way critics say "whitewashes" the history and brutality of slavery.President Donald Trump has asserted in the past on social media that institutions "across the country" focus too much on "how bad Slavery was," instead of focusing about the "success" and "brightness" of the country.On Friday morning, an appeals court issued a mandate that finalized its June 18 decision that the Trump administration can remove and replace the informational display panels at the slavery memorial at the President’s House in Philadelphia-- the nation’s first executive mansion, where President George Washington enslaved nine men and women.The mandate was requested by the Interior Department in a motion filed on Thursday seeking the “immediate” replacement of the panels."The President’s House is an important national historical site, and the Government submits that the President’s House exhibits should be fully installed without further delay," the motion says.In this Feb. 10, 2026, file photo,dDemonstrators gather to protest removal of explanatory panels that were part of an exhibit on slavery at the President's House Site in Philadelphia.Matt Rourke/AP, FILEThe Interior Department did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request when asked on Friday if the panels will be replaced by the July 4 holiday this weekend.The June 18 appeals court ruling stems from a January federal lawsuit filed by the city of Philadelphia against the Interior Department and National Park Service, seeking to preserve the slavery memorial.In this photo released by the National Parks Service, President's House Site is shown in Philadelphia.National Parks ServiceThe city of Philadelphia filed a motion on Friday afternoon to appeal the court’s decision, arguing that the court erred in issuing the mandate because it did not give the city enough time to respond to the federal government’s motion on Thursday.ABC News reached out to the city of Philadelphia but a request for comment was not immediately returned.What could changeThe memorial, which opened to the public in December 2010 after a broad coalition of advocates, historians and public officials rallied for its creation, was taken down in January without notice by the Trump administration and was partially restored in February after a federal judge’s ruling.The panels share the stories of the nice people who were enslaved at the site by Washington and now, only 16 of the 34 are standing. The Trump administration is seeking to replace the original panels with new messaging that was published in April on the National Park Service website. A preliminary injunction by a federal judge initially ordered the Trump to preserve the “status quo” at the exhibit, but the appeals court ruling in June dissolved this decision.“What Trump wants to do and plans to do is to literally whitewash and censor the site,” said Philadelphia attorney Michael Coard, the founder of Avenging the Ancestor’s Coalition – a group that Coard founded in 2002 to launch a movement to convince Philadelphia to build the slavery memorial.Portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart painted in 1803.STOCK PHOTO/Getty ImagesIn making his argument, Coard pointed to the proposed removal of images that show the beating and shooting of enslaved Black men.Popular ReadsHe also pointed to what he called “two glaring examples” on the National Park Service website that are “blatantly offensive from a racial standpoint,” as they seek to downplay the severity of slavery and Washington's role in it."One [of the panels] makes the argument that well, slavery under George Washington in Philadelphia at the President's House wasn't really that bad, because the enslaved Black folks there had ‘a modicum of autonomy,'" Coard said.Coard also pointed to new proposed language that highlights Washington’s “discomfort” with slavery, despite the fact that he enslaved hundreds of men, women and children.In this Feb. 19, 2026, file photo Michael Coard, attorney and founder of the Avenging The Ancestors Coalition (ATAC), speaks after National Park Service workers reinstalled a slavery exhibit at the President's House, following a U.S. judge's order to reinstall it, in Philadelphia.Hannah Beier/Reuters, FILE“The second point, in terms of concrete examples, deal with the language on the website that well, George Washington really wasn't a cruel slave master because he had ‘discomfort’ with the issue of slavery,” Coard said.“Now, how the hell can you make that point? Because the fact is that he enslaved 316 Black men, women, and children at Mount Vernon. If he had discomfort, what the hell do you think they had?”A spokesperson for the Interior Department told ABC News that the removal and planned replacement of the panels complies with President Donald Trump’s March 2025 executive order, "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”The order called for the removal of “negative” and “divisive” materials from national parks and content that “disparages” Americans, living or dead.In this Aug. 19, 2025, file photo people walk past an informational panel at President's House Site in Philadelphia.Matt Rourke/AP, FILEThe spokesperson said that the new proposed panels underscore the administration's commitment to "celebrating and acknowledging the full breadth of our nation's history."Coard said that as America celebrates the 250th’s anniversary of its founding, what happens at the President’s House could have a wide-ranging impact in the country.“The President's House site has become basically a test case, almost like the canary in the coal mine,” Coard told ABC News in an interview on Wednesday. “They want to see what the Trump administration can do with this, and if they can destroy this, they [can] destroy similar sites across the country.”

Missing Soccer Fan Found in Pub Unaware of International Search New

Missing Soccer Fan Found in Pub Unaware of International Search

An England soccer fan who vanished while traveling to the US for the World Cup was found safe in Spain — “blissfully unaware” of his family’s anguished search for him. Michael Hewitt, 65, last spoke with his family in Barcelona on June 21, one day after the diehard Leeds United fan jetted out of the UK, Leeds Live reported.Michael Hewitt, 65, was found safe in Barcelona after a grueling 10-day search. Jam PressHewitt was in Spain for a short layover before he was set to fly out to Boston, where England played out a 0-0 draw against Ghana last Wednesday.But after losing his phone — which contained all his travel tickets — he became stuck in Barcelona, his brother, Gary, told the US Sun. “He lost his phone soon after arriving in Barcelona, and didn’t know any of the phone numbers stored on it,” Gary told the outlet.“He didn’t think to go to the Embassy as he still had his passport and money, so didn’t think they’d be interested,” he said.Hewitt, known affectionately by his nickname “Little Mick,” didn’t have access to the internet and was “blissfully unaware” that his family was desperately searching for him. “Instead, he just got on with enjoying Barcelona, watching the England matches in the bars.”His family last saw Facebook photos of him at a bar in the European city before he lost contact. The diehard Leeds United soccer fan lost his phone during his layover and did not see his family’s attempts to contact him. Jam PressAfter 10 days, the British Embassy in Spain tracked down the soccer fan’s hotel through his card payments and put him in touch with his family. Jam PressThe Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Interpol launched an investigation into Hewitt’s disappearance, as relatives urged locals to spread posts about him. After 10 days, the British Embassy in Spain tracked down the soccer fan’s hotel through his card payments and put him in touch with his family the next day.Gary wrote in a Facebook statement that the family was grateful to have a happy ending after the terrifying search.“As a family, we desperately wanted an embarrassingly simple but happy ending to this horrendous episode, and we now have that,” Gary said.“It’s amazing what can be achieved when the good people of the world go Marching on Together,” he said — a nod to the anthem of Leeds United.

Terrifying Shark Encounter at Jones Beach Leaves Swimmer in Shock New

Terrifying Shark Encounter at Jones Beach Leaves Swimmer in Shock

A swimmer’s “bone” was left exposed after what lifeguards believe was a shark attack at Jones Beach Friday afternoon, sources told The Post.In a scene right out of “Jaws,” the beast chomped on the man’s foot around 12 p.m. at the state park’s Field 6 as the Blue Angels Fourth of July holiday air show soared overhead, witnesses said.“He came running over to our lifeguard stand … his foot was bleeding and he was saying, ‘I got bit, I got bit! I don’t want to look,'” said lifeguard Kate Maio, who was sitting on the stand and treated the victim. A swimmer’s “bone” was left exposed after what lifeguards believe was a shark attack at Jones Beach State Park on Friday afternoon. Dennis A. Clark for NY Post“The man who got bit said that it felt like a jaw-biting motion and that it went clean through.”The wound was a single, deep gash that sliced along the man’s toes, exposing the white bone beneath, the lifeguard said.Maio’s partner jumped from the stand and wrapped the man’s foot in a shirt like a tourniquet, but the slow bleeding suddenly started gushing.“It was bleeding through the shirt,” she said.“It was crazy, but these things happen.”The man had been swimming at the edge of the green flags — which designate the swimmable areas of the beach.That means he was close to where fishermen set up shop on the shores, Maio explained.EMS responded to the scene and took him to an area hospital, where lifeguards expect him to make a full recovery.The man did not see the shark himself, but another bather told lifeguards that she watched a fin swim away in the seconds after the man was bitten. The shark reportedly chomped on the man’s foot around 12 p.m. at the state park’s Field 6 as the Blue Angels Fourth of July holiday air show soared overhead. (Photo showing spectators at Jones Beach State Park unrelated to shark attack) Dennis A. Clark for NY PostBased on the wounds, Maio and her colleagues theorize a baby sand tiger shark may have been to blame.The attack came while thousands of bathers were desperately cooling off in the ocean as grueling 100-degree temperatures bore down on the sand.The giant crowds were also supplemented by those who flocked to Jones Beach to watch the Navy’s Blue Angels practice for their blockbuster July 4th performance — the fighter jets will lead the International Aerial Review Saturday in the skies above the Statue of Liberty.The encounter is believed to be the first of the summer at Jones Beach, and comes just one day after multiple shark sightings shut down nearby shores.A swarm of bull sharks patrolling Rockaway Beach kept swimmers out of the water for hours Thursday, while a massive 9-foot shark was spotted at Point Lookout.The big fish typically show up on the stretch of shores from the Rockaways to Montauk around July 4, which is when the waters warm up for the cold-blooded hunters and their scaly prey.While humans are not on their diet, sharks take accidental nibbles of humans when mistaking feet and other limbs for fish, experts say.

Mitch McConnell's Mysterious Health Crisis Sparks Concern After Latest Update New

Mitch McConnell's Mysterious Health Crisis Sparks Concern After Latest Update

Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has had a rough couple of years regarding his health as the aging Kentucky Republican nears retirement at the end of the year.And last month, McConnell experienced yet another incident regarding his health that has people even more concerned.According to his spokesperson, his condition is improving though he remains hospitalized, according to reports.“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the spokesperson said in a statement.“The senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session,” the spokesperson added.Advertisement McConnell, 84, was reportedly found unconscious at his Washington, D.C., residence on June 14 and may have suffered a heart attack, according to a dispatch call from the District’s Fire and EMS department.The dispatch records indicate that an Advanced Life Support ambulance was sent to McConnell’s home shortly before 9 a.m. The call also referenced CPR being in progress for a patient experiencing cardiac arrest.McConnell’s office has not publicly commented on the nature of the medical emergency, the New York Post reported.Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he has spoken with McConnell since the senator’s hospitalization, adding that McConnell remained “dialed in” on the Senate Republican conference’s legislative agenda.The Senate is currently in recess and is scheduled to reconvene on July 13.McConnell, who is serving his seventh term in the Senate, has experienced several health setbacks in recent years, including multiple falls that resulted in a concussion and fractured ribs, as well as highly publicized episodes in which he briefly froze while speaking at public events.Earlier this year, he was also hospitalized after experiencing flu-like symptoms, The Post noted.McConnell has frequently been seen using a wheelchair in recent months as he completes the remainder of his Senate term.The longtime Kentucky Republican, who led Senate Republicans from 2007 until January 2025, announced in February 2025 that he would not seek an eighth term, bringing an end to his decades-long congressional career, noted The Post.McConnell was admitted to a hospital suffering a ‘mystery’ illness, according to multiple initial reports last month.Shortly after his admission, a spokesman for the former Senate majority leader provided an update about his condition.“Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” spokesperson David Popp said, per CNN.McConnell was first elected to the Senate in 1984 and rose to become Senate majority leader in 2015, a position he held for years as the longest-serving Republican leader in the chamber’s history.During President Donald Trump’s first term, McConnell played a central role in advancing the administration’s agenda, most notably by helping confirm hundreds of federal judges and three Supreme Court justices who reshaped the federal judiciary for a generation.In recent years, however, McConnell has increasingly found himself at odds with both Trump and the direction of the modern Republican Party.No longer serving in Senate leadership, he broke with the administration on several high-profile issues and voted against some of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr..Explaining his opposition, McConnell, who survived polio as a child, argued that Kennedy had not demonstrated he was the right person to lead the nation’s top health agency.McConnell has also remained one of the Republican Party’s strongest advocates for a robust American role abroad, particularly in supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression and strengthening deterrence against China in the Taiwan Strait.Those positions have increasingly placed him at odds with a growing segment of the GOP base, which has embraced Trump’s more restrained and America First approach to foreign policy.He chairs the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.Recently, he expressed concerns about the Trump administration’s plan to increase defense spending through the reconciliation process, cautioning that there is no guarantee Republicans can achieve this.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
