Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“Foreign Policy for Sale”: Trump Cryptocurrency Venture Secures Major Investment from UAE Firm

HeadlineMay 02, 2025

The founder of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture said Thursday that a fund backed by Abu Dhabi will make a $2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance using a Trump-branded crypto coin. The deal could generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family, constituting a major contribution by a foreign government to the president of the United States. Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, responded, “This is far more than is captured by the term 'conflict of interest.' It is foreign policy for sale and justice for sale.”
