To the average American, the world of cryptocurrencies can be completely inscrutable. Only about 17 percent of U.S. adults say they've ever invested, traded or used crypto, according to an October Gallup poll. But that relative obscurity might be exactly why President Donald Trump and his family have gone all in on crypto. From pay-to-play memecoin dinners to billion-dollar investments in bitcoin, the Trump family now has a huge stake in a growing industry with few regulatory guardrails — and mounting conflicts of interest. Allison Morrow, a senior writer for CNN Business, tells us what the Trump family is up to and why ethics experts are waving red flags. And in headlines: The Trump administration ordered a pause on new student visa interviews, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stripped Covid vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant people, and King Charles told Canada's Parliament 'that the true North is indeed strong and free' in a speech widely seen as a rebuke of President Trump.
