Jenny Jarvie, Los Angeles Times; As Trump reports $2.2 billion in 2025 income, ethics experts raise alarm
"Ethics experts sounded the alarm Wednesday after new financial disclosure reports revealed that President Trump’s income ballooned to $2.2 billion in 2025, with $1.4 billion coming from various new cryptocurrency-related businesses.
“It’s bribery. It’s graft. It’s exploitation of public power for private financial gain,” said Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington University and an expert in government ethics. “Trump has — with the acquiescence of a somnolent, GOP-controlled Congress and the active assistance of John Roberts’ Supreme Court — transformed the presidency into a massive corruption racket.”
Trump reported income of over $600 million in 2024. But after he entered the White House in 2025, he reported that his income had soared to more than $2.2 billion."
Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP; Supreme Court Leaves in Place Injunction Preserving Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter’s Position
"Munger, Tolles & Olson and co-counsel Democracy Forward secured a significant victory for Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter in litigation challenging the Trump administration’s attempt to remove her from office. On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the administration’s emergency application in Blanche v. Perlmutter, leaving in place the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s injunction preserving Perlmutter’s position while her legal challenge proceeds.
Shira Perlmutter contends that her removal was unlawful because only the Librarian of Congress has authority to remove the Register of Copyrights and that then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was not lawfully serving as Acting Librarian of Congress when he attempted to remove her. By declining to stay the D.C. Circuit’s injunction, the Supreme Court allowed Perlmutter to remain in office while the litigation continues."
