How Crypto Is Used for Political Corruption
World Liberty Financial AKA Pay Your Trump Bribes Here
#Applebaum: Let me shift now to the current administration. Maybe we could start with World Liberty Financial. Can you explain what it is and how it works and how it could be used, in effect, to bribe the president?
White: So World Liberty Financial is a #cryptocurrency platform that was created by Trump, some of his sons, and a handful of external partners in August 2024.
Applebaum: And one of those external partners is Zach #Witkoff who is the son of Trump’s Middle East and Russia envoy, Steve Witkoff
