Trump Crypto Venture Sues Backer; GOP Fundraising and Campaign Trail Developments Emerge
World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture co-founded by Donald Trump and his sons, filed a defamation lawsuit in Florida against Hong Kong-based entrepreneur Justin Sun, alleging he ran a smear campaign and improperly short-sold WLFI tokens. On the campaign trail, a New Jersey Democratic congressional candidate drew attention after footage showed her declining to answer questions about political violence against Trump, while a Florida GOP candidate reported significantly outraising his Democratic incumbent opponent. Separately, administration officials faced criticism over Iran strategy at the Milken Institute Global Conference.
