Senator Elizabeth Warren (Democrat from Massachusetts) described on Wednesday President Donald Trump as the "most" corrupt president in U.S. history.
Warren talks about cryptocurrency scams
Warren criticized Trump’s business activities during his second term, including disclosures that revealed he earned more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency projects during 2025. Those gains included more than $520 million from selling tokens issued by the World Liberty Financial platform, and more than $635 million from royalty revenues he received from the Official Trump [TRUMP] meme coin.
"It’s a long, long, long list"
Warren also pointed to the service provided by Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (listed on Nasdaq under ticker DJT), which charges between $60,000 and $100,000 per month for early access to posts from 10 prominent accounts on the Truth Social platform, including Trump’s own account. Notably, two media organizations filed a lawsuit against Trump regarding this service.
The senator also raised concerns about converting a Boeing 747 cargo jet, which Trump received as a "gift," into a new presidential aircraft within the U.S. Air Force fleet. Experts noted that this effort could ultimately cost taxpayers more than a billion dollars and would take several years to complete.
Warren said: "It’s a long, long, long list. It gets longer every day. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history."
Warren continues to press
Warren was among the most prominent critics of Trump’s business activities during his second term, and her opposition to his cryptocurrency projects remained steadfast. The Democratic senator repeatedly highlighted what she considers fundamental shortcomings in the "Clarity Act," emphasizing that it fails to prevent Trump and his family from financially benefiting from cryptocurrencies.
For his part, Trump insisted that his gains from cryptocurrencies are neither "illegal" nor "wrong," stressing that the United States should lead in this area or else it will lose its place to China. A White House spokesperson told Benzinga that all actions by the Trump administration are taken for the "benefit of the American people," rejecting any suggestion that there is a "conflict of interest" involving the president or his family.
