Democrats plan extensive probe into Trump's $2.2B financial gains

Democrats are preparing a comprehensive audit of Donald Trump and his associates, aiming to expose and end what they term the "most lucrative presidency" in American history. This effort is fueled by Trump's $2.2 billion financial disclosure, which details numerous ventures that generated significant income in 2025. Key areas of focus include a cryptocurrency business that yielded approximately $1.2 billion, royalties from a meme coin that has since crashed, and various legal settlements and licensing deals. Investigators are also targeting individuals close to Trump, such as his sons and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who have been involved in companies seeking federal support and have raised substantial funds from foreign governments.
