The proposed bill from Senator Adam Schiff followed similar legislation in the House of Representatives from Maxine Waters in response to the president's memecoin dinner. California Senator Adam Schiff and nine other Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation to prevent what they called “financial exploitation of digital assets” by the US president and other public officials. In a Monday announcement, Schiff and several Democratic senators said they had introduced the Curbing Officials’ Income and Nondisclosure, or COIN, Act, in response to US President Donald Trump’s connections to the cryptocurrency industry. The proposed legislation followed Trump’s disclosure of $57.4 million in income tied to World Liberty Financial (WLF), the crypto platform backed by members of his family. “President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency dealings have raised significant ethical, legal and constitutional concerns over his use of the office of the presidency to enrich himself and his family,” said Schiff. “That’s why I am ...

Iran said on Monday that the US attack on its nuclear sites expanded the range of legitimate targets for its armed forces and called US President Donald Trump a “gambler” for joining Israel’s military campaign against the Islamic Republic. Since Trump joined Israel’s campaign by dropping massive bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, Tehran has repeatedly threatened to retaliate. But while it has continued to fire missiles at Israel, it has yet to take action against the United States itself, either by firing at US bases or by targeting the 20 per cent of global oil shipments that pass near its coast at the mouth of the Gulf. “Mr Trump, the gambler, you may start this war, but we will be the ones to end it,” Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters, said on Monday in English at the end of a recorded video statement. Iran and Israel traded another wave of air and missile strikes on Monday as the world braced for Tehran’s response. Trump’...

The next big question for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is whether Trump has had enough when it comes to Iran, or whether the Israeli American campaign is going to be long-term

Pakistani politicians on Sunday raised their concerns over the government’s decision to recommend US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, as Washington joined Israel’s war with Iran. The government had decided to nominate Trump for the prestigious award to hail his “decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership” during last month’s Pak-India conflict, when both neighbours stepped back from the brink of war with US mediation. In a statement, it had highlighted that Trump “demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi”, which ultimately secured a ceasefire. However, after the US bombed Iran’s Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites, with Trump saying they were “totally obliterated”, leaders across the political spectrum joined Pakistani citizens in voicing their reservations. Veteran politician Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who heads his own faction of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F), demanded that t...

Eric Semler says he enjoys being the “lone voice crying in the wilderness” with Bitcoin as most hedge fund executives think Bitcoin is a “fly-by-night concept.” Eric Semler, chairman of healthcare tech firm Semler Scientific Inc., says many of his hedge fund peers are skeptical about Bitcoin’s future once US President Donald Trump leaves office. “I think that they think it is a fly-by-night concept and that it is probably going to, after the Trump administration, go back down a lot,” Semler told Coin Stories host Natalie Brunell on Thursday. Semler, who also founded hedge fund TCS Capital Management in 2001, made his comments amid skepticism within the crypto industry about how long political support for crypto will last after US President Donald Trump’s administration ends. While Trump recently signed off on a Bitcoin (BTC) Strategic Reserve, some, like JAN3 founder Samson Mow, are concerned that support may potentially unravel under a future president. Read more

WASHINGTON: The prospect of a US strike against Iran has exposed divisions in the coalition of supporters that brought President Donald Trump to power, with some of his base urging him not to get the country involved in a new Middle East war. Some of Trump’s most prominent Republican allies, including top lieutenant Steve Bannon, have found themselves in the unusual position of being at odds with a president who largely shares their isolationist tendencies. Bannon, one of many influential voices from Trump’s “America First” coalition, on Wednesday urged caution about the US military joining Israel in trying to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme in the absence of a diplomatic deal. “We can’t do this again,” Bannon told reporters at an event sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington. “We’ll tear the country apart. We can’t have another Iraq.” Bannon continued to preach patience on his popular “War Room” podcast on Thursday, contending that Trump was being set up to be responsible for toppling the I...

An umbrella company controlled by the president and his family has reportedly been reducing its stake in World Liberty Financial since December 2024. One of the companies connected to US President Donald Trump and his family’s position in World Liberty Financial (WLF) has reportedly reduced its stake in the cryptocurrency platform in the last 11 days. According to a Thursday Forbes report, DT Marks DeFi LLC, an umbrella company controlled by Trump and his family, has been slowly reducing its stake in WLF. The report noted that DT Marks DeFi LLC had a 75% stake in WLF as of December 2024, but World Liberty’s website said the company owned “approximately 60%” as of January — a stake that was further reduced to 40% sometime after June 8.
