Explosive Report Details How Trump is Exploiting the Presidency to Enrich Himself and His Family While Dismantling Anti-Corruption Safeguards and Pardoning Corporate Cronies
Washington, D.C. (November 25, 2025)Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released a new staff report revealing how President Donald Trump and his family have transformed the presidency into a personal money-making operation, adding billions of dollars to his net worth through cryptocurrency schemes entangled with foreign governments, corporate allies, and criminal actors.
Donald Trump has turned the Oval Office into the worlds most corrupt crypto startup operation, minting staggering personal fortunes for him and his family in less than a year. Meantime, Trump has been pardoning criminals who commit fraud through crypto and dismantling the regulations that protect legitimate American investors. We dont know where all the money is coming from yet, but America has never seen corruption on this scale take place inside the White House. This Report shows how Trumps so-called pro-crypto agenda is just one more Trump family self-enrichment plan, built on pay-to-play deals and corrupt foreign interests seeking secret channels of access and influence, said Ranking Member Raskin. Congress must expose this dangerous grift, and defend the rule of law against the profiteers and criminals who would destroy it.
The report, Trump, Crypto, and a New Age of Corruption, documents how the President has used his office to enrich himself and his familywith crypto holdings worth as much as $11.6 billion and income of more than $800 million from the sale of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alonewhile dismantling federal oversight and safeguards that once protected Americans from fraud, scams, and financial exploitation.
Foreign actors and corporate interests have been buying access and favors from the President and his Administration by funneling money into the Trump familys cryptocurrency ventures and making large, politically motivated donations. In return, these financial backers have received swift returns: regulatory rollbacks, policy giveaways, and the quiet termination of federal investigations into major players in the crypto industry.
The report presents extensive evidence of presidential self-dealing, foreign influence, and obstruction of justice, revealing how the Trump Administrations crypto policies were designed to advance Trump and his familys personal financial interests at the expense of the law, ethics, and national security. Key findings include:
* President Trump and his family have earned hundreds of millions of dollars and added billions to their net worth through a network of cryptocurrency ventures launched during and after the 2024 campaign, including World Liberty Financial and the $TRUMP memecoin.
* The Trump familys crypto ventures have attracted substantial investmentsfrom foreign nationals and state-linked entities seeking to curry favor with the Administrationraising severe constitutional, ethical, and national security concerns.
* The Trump Administration has intervened to halt or terminate federal investigations and enforcement actions involving multiple cryptocurrency firms that have donated to the President or invested in his companies, including Coinbase, Gemini, Robinhood, Ripple, Crypto.com, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, and Kraken.
* Trump has issued pardons and rolled back sanctions for known bad actors that have provided financial support to his ventures.
* The Administration has systematically dismantled anti-corruption and financial integrity safeguards, including dissolving the Department of Justices (DOJ) National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET), and repealing investor protection rules adopted during the Biden Administrationmoves that have directly advanced the Presidents personal financial interests.
President Trump and his family kept lining their pockets while he and his allies in Congress closed down the federal governmentrefusing to extend tax credits to make healthcare affordable for American families, putting continued food benefits for women and children in doubt, and placing active-duty military personnel in danger of missing their next paycheck.
The Committees report warns that Trumps ability to accumulate billions of dollars through his familys cryptocurrency ventures in less than a year exposes severe weaknesses in the nations campaign finance, conflict-of-interest, and anti-bribery laws, and underscores the urgent need for congressional reforms to restore accountability and integrity to the presidency.
