President Donald Trump highlighted his administration's crackdown on overseas cryptocurrency investment scams at a White House event on Wednesday, 21 October. Officials pointed to cryptocurrency restraints and website takedowns, but those enforcement figures do not establish how much money has ultimately reached victims.
Trump entered the East Room at 2:50 pm, according to a White House press pool report. Officials attending included Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Todd Blanche.
