Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman. People are poring over President Trump's financial disclosure form released only this week. It's nearly a thousand pages long. It says Trump and his family took in more than one billion dollars last year, and about half of that came from his family's interests in cryptocurrency. Trump says he doesn't personally handle his own investments and says that means he doesn't have any conflicts of interest. But NPR's Linda Kenyon says Trump's critics disagree.

Congressman Jason Crow called the president's crypto earnings another example of what he termed "grift and corruption." The Colorado Democrat also pointed out that Trump on Wednesday was taking his first flight on a brand-new Air Force One, a gift from a foreign government, Qatar, valued at more than four hundred million dollars and will stay in the Trump realm when he leaves office. The White House says the aircraft will be a donation to Trump's presidential library.
