Trump's Cryptocurrency Deals Called 'Outragously Corrupt' by CNN Panel

CNN's Table for Five panel discussed President Trump's involvement in cryptocurrency deals while in office. Geraldo Rivera called the transactions 'outrageously corrupt,' citing a lack of transparency and potential conflicts of interest.

Rivera argued that government officials are normally subject to strict ethics rules, which are often circumvented by unofficial roles or private-equity ties. The panel discussed Jared Kushner's involvement in such deals, as well as his family's business dealings with companies like Steve Witkoff's.

The topic sparked controversy, with Rivera emphasizing the 'shamelessness' of making money while holding public office. He stated that this lack of accountability undermines trust in government and creates a perception of corruption.
