President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency venture received a $100 million (£73.9 million) investment from a businessman who had previously come under investigation in Britain for money laundering, according to an investigation. The money was channelled through a firm called Aqua 1 and generated payments for companies connected to Mr Trump, his sons and the family of a Trump administration envoy.
The transaction has drawn attention because it involved one of World Liberty Financial's largest token purchases by a businessman with a recent history of failed ventures. It also shows how a crypto token sale can generate substantial payments for companies linked to a sitting US president and his relatives.
