Former US President Donald Trump has addressed recent reports detailing $1.2 billion in earnings from his family’s cryptocurrency ventures last year.

The revelation raises questions about the influence of cryptocurrency investments during his time as president. FRANCE 24’s Frader Jackson is reporting further on the unfolding story.
