According to the financial disclosure filed with the US Office of Government Ethics, Trump received more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto company he co-founded with his sons. He earned an additional $635 million from selling his meme coins under the ticker $TRUMP. The president also reported over $80 million in income from settlements with media companies and millions more from licensing his name to real estate developers abroad.

Meanwhile, the New York Times won an interim victory in its legal battle with the US Department of Defense. A federal judge struck down a rule that allowed journalists to enter the department only when accompanied by a staff member. The temporary injunction remains in effect until a final ruling. The judge cited the importance of a free press in his decision.
