How did President Trump make $1bn from crypto? | BBC Newscast

We look at how US President Donald Trump made more than $1 billion from cryptocurrency in his first year back in office. The president’s mandatory financial report revealed that he also earned millions from real estate and Trump-themed items. But the White House denies that he is profiting from the presidency. Alex and James are joined by chief North America correspondent, Gary O’Donoghue. Plus, we look at a week of big rulings for the president in the Supreme Court, including a defeat for the president over birth right citizenship and decisions which expand the power of the presidency.
