Trump responds to WLFI conflict-of-interest questions: jointly owned, "I don't know the business," managed by his sons

Nov 9: In a CBS "60 Minutes" interview after the 2026 midterm elections, U.S. President Trump was asked about his family's cryptocurrency company World Liberty Financial. The interviewer noted that Trump is a co-owner of the company, that his sons are involved in its management, and that the company has some UAE government-related investors. Trump confirmed the co-ownership but argued that he spends almost no time focused on his net worth, that he knows "nothing" about the company's operations, and that his sons are in charge of management. He said every president faces similar conflict-of-interest issues, which in the past may have involved assets such as oil.
