Trump reports tens of millions in income from crypto
Trump, who returned to office in January, reported $US57.35 million ($A88.26 million) from token sales at crypto firm World Liberty Financial.
He also reported holding 15.75 billion governance tokens in the venture.
The financial disclosure was signed as of June 13 and did not state the time period it covered.
The details of the cryptocurrency listings, as well as other information in the disclosure, suggest it was through the end of December 2024, which would exclude most of the money raised by the family's cryptocurrency ventures.
The wealth of the Republican businessman-turned-politician ranges from crypto to real estate, and a large part on paper is tied up in his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of social media platform Truth Social.
The disclosure showed income from various assets including Trump's properties in Florida.
Trump's three golf-focused resorts in the state - Jupiter, Doral and West Palm Beach - plus his nearby private members' club at Mar-a-Lago, generated at least $US217.7 million in income, according to the filing.
The disclosure also listed income of $US5 million in licence fees from a development in Vietnam.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Questions raised on Australia's baseline tariff rate as Donald Trump's deadline looms
With just hours to go until new US tariffs take effect, Treasurer Jim Chalmers has taken a swipe at Donald Trump, saying slugging import penalties on countries like Australia would be 'bad for the American economy'. In a last ditch effort, Dr Chalmers said imposing higher tariffs with nations — especially trade surplus-clad countries like Australia — would be an 'act of economic self-harm' with the US economy already hit with rising inflation. 'We think these tariffs are bad for the American economy, certainly bad for the global economy,' he said. 'We're better placed and better prepared than most countries to deal with that, but we won't be immune. We'll continue to engage with the Americans on it.' Dr Chalmers said his 'working assumption' was that Australia would continue to have a 10 per cent baseline tariff after the August 1 deadline — which falls early-afternoon on Friday in Australia. That is despite the US President hinting during his recent Scotland trip, that countries yet to strike a deal would be slapped with a 15 to 20 per cent rate. 'Our understanding and our working assumption is that we get the 10 per cent,' he said during a breakfast TV blitz on Thursday. 'From our point of view, the 10 per cent is too high. 'We think it should be zero because these tariffs are an act of economic self-harm.' Dr Chalmers went on to claim that the Albanese Government was engaging with the Americans 'all the time' when asked about the yet-to-be rescheduled first face-to-face between Mr Albanese and Mr Trump. National's leader David Littleproud, however, slammed the Albanese Government for running on assumptions and failing to engage with the US President ahead of the deadline. 'I don't think we should be sitting here thinking there's a certainty that we don't be sitting at 10 per cent,' he said. Since the tariffs were first proposed in April — their implementation has been delayed several times. It has prompted the nickname 'TACO' — Trump Always Chickens Out. The US president first announced the tariff regime on 'Liberation Day' at the White House on April 2 but it was swiftly postponed for 90 days. Perth USAsia Centre chief executive Professor Gordon Flake said Donald Trump's unpredictability makes it difficult to take his statements or deadlines at face value. He also suggested the deadline may not materialise tomorrow since Trump hasn't repeated it and therefore might not follow through. 'Even for his supporters and his administration, his words don't mean anything,' he said. 'Because you set the deadline, it doesn't mean that there will be an across the board application… unless he specifically reemphasizes or restates that. We haven't seen a repetition. 'It's just ongoing capriciousness, Mad King whims, masquerading as strategy. It's the whims and the emotions of a Mad King on a daily basis.' Mr Littleproud also accused the Government of lifting the restrictions on US beef imports — potentially exposing Australia to mad cow disease and tuberculosis — as a concession made to appease Mr Trump. 'This is all because of a diplomatic failure by Prime Minister Albanese to be able to meet with President Trump,' he said. 'If you want to know about how you're going to come and deal with Trump, you actually have to sit down with him.' It comes after an independent inquiry proposed into Australia's recent decision to allow further US beef import has been denied. Put forward by Nationals Matt Canavan in the Senate on Thursday but voted down 33-27. Nationals, Liberals, Independents Fatima Payman and David Pocock, and One Nation Senators had voted for an inquiry while Labor and Greens opposed it. WA Senator and shadow assistant trade minister Dean Smith said Australia's biosecurity wasn't a bargaining chip and labelled any weakening of Australia's good track record as 'a dangerous and unnecessary risk'. 'The Prime Minister cannot get a meeting with President Trump, but has managed to give away access to our beef market without securing a trade deal for Australian producers,' he said. 'It is particularly disappointing that Labor and the Greens conspired today to block a Senate Inquiry into the biosecurity risk associated with this US beef imports decision.' The Government said the decision to lift the import ban on US beef was based on science. While Australia has allowed beef imports from the US since 2019, there has been a long-standing ban on US beef imports—specifically meat from cattle born in Canada or Mexico but slaughtered in America. Agriculture Minister Julie Collins, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Trade Minister Don Farrell had said it came after a science-based biosecurity review and strict standards remained in place. They argued the decision's timing amid tariff threats wasn't suspicious. Professor Flake said he didn't believe changes to beef imports would get Australia a better deal but perhaps shelter it from a worse one. 'We're just trying to remove an irritant before it attracts the Eye of Sauron,' he said.

Giuffre family demands answers after Trump says Epstein ‘stole' Virginia from Mar-a-Lago
Donald Trump's admission that Epstein recruited Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago has sparked outrage from her family, who are now demanding answers about what he knew and when. Speaking aboard Air Force One, the president told reporters that Epstein 'stole' Ms Giuffre from the Mar-a-Lago spa when she was just 16. 'Everyone knows the people who were taken,' Mr Trump said. 'People were taken out of the spa hired by him… And then not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, 'Out of here.'' But the family of Ms Giuffre, who lived in WA before she tragically took her own life, has issued a furious response. 'It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago,' the family said in a statement. 'It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey 'likes women on the younger side... no doubt about it.'' The comments have sparked renewed scrutiny of Mr Trump's long-denied ties to Epstein and his inner circle, including whether his administration sought to downplay any connection. Mr Trump has previously claimed he 'never had the privilege of going to (Epstein's) island' and insisted Democrats planted his name in case files. But Florida's former attorney general Pam Bondi reportedly told Mr Trump that his name appears 'multiple times' in Epstein-linked documents. Ms Giuffre, who died at the age of 41 in April, was one of the most vocal survivors to speak out about Epstein and Ms Maxwell's trafficking operation. She maintained she was recruited into the ring while working as a locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 2000. Mr Trump officially severed ties with Epstein in 2004. Over the years, he's attributed the falling-out to everything from Epstein being 'a creep' to a dispute over a Palm Beach property. His latest remarks, however, raise new questions about what he knew and when. The Ms Giuffre family also lashed out at Congress over ongoing moves to allow Ms Maxwell to testify about Epstein's network, calling her 'a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life.' 'If our sister could speak today, she would be most angered by the fact that the government is listening to a known perjurer,' their statement continued. 'A woman who repeatedly lied under oath and will continue to do so as long as it benefits her position.' Ms Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence, met with Justice Department officials last week. She is scheduled to testify before Congress on August 11, though a request for immunity has already been denied.

'I firmly believe if Trump were in the Epstein files in any meaningful way, it would've been released already.'
