NEW YORK — Fighters, promoters, and television streamers all stand to gain from the Ultimate Fighting Championship bout that President Trump was hosting on the South Lawn of the White House on Sunday.

The president’s move to open new business ventures, rather than eliminate potential conflicts, defies a long-held tradition.

President Donald Trump reaped a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family's cryptocurrency businesses, a new filing shows.

A financial disclosure for 2025 shows that the Trump family's holdings, particularly the president's crypto businesses, have been stunningly lucrative.

President Trump’s business holdings, which garnered him more than $2 billion last year, create potential conflicts of interest surpassing any predecessor.

Last summer, as many one-time adversaries of President Donald Trump sought to bury the hatchet with him, he met with someone who seemed like a intractable enemy: his former personal lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen.

See how President Trump and his family’s business empire has transformed from his first term.

The call is the latest sign of a rapprochement between President Trump and his former fixer, who served as the star witness against his former boss in New York State Court.

President Donald Trump has called Michael D. Cohen a “rat” and a “liar.” Cohen, the president's former personal lawyer and fixer, has likened Trump to a mobster.
