Geraldo Rivera: Trump’s crypto deals ‘outrageously corrupt’ 3:14

Latest News CNN POLITIKOOL · LATEST NEWS

Geraldo Rivera branded President Trump's cryptocurrency deals "outrageously corrupt" during a segment of The Table for Five, a CNN panel discussion. The conversation focused on a dinner connected to Trump's meme coin and on the private-equity ties of Jared Kushner. Rivera said the Trump family's pursuit of profit while the president is in office reflects a remarkable lack of shame, noting that officials in government ordinarily face strict ethics rules intended to head off conflicts of interest.

The panelists also turned to Kushner and Steve Witkoff, whose informal standing means they can work outside certain obligations that normally govern people serving in government.

CNN also published related politics clips. One looks at President Trump's newest advertising campaign paid for by taxpayers, another covers Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries responding to Jasmine Crockett declining to endorse James Talarico, and a third reports that Trump's approval rating on inflation has reached a record low.
