Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump for profiting from cryptocurrency ventures, while investors reportedly lost $4.3 billion. According to Odaily, Van Hollen compared Trump's role to that of a casino owner, suggesting that he profits regardless of investors' outcomes.
Van Hollen emphasized the need for transparency and accountability, stating that the proposed amendment aims to ensure that the American public is aware that such transactions will not be permitted for the President, members of the House and Senate, or others with direct control over these institutions.
