"At the end of her interview with President Donald J. Trump, recorded on
October 31 at Mar-a-Lago and aired last night, heavily edited, on
60 Minutes,
Norah O’Donnell of
CBS News asked if she could ask two more questions. Trump
suggested previous questions had been precleared when he mused aloud that if he
said yes, “That means they’ll treat me more fairly if I do—I want to get—It’s
very nice, yeah. Now is good. Okay. Uh, oh. These might be the ones I didn’t
want. I don’t know. Okay, go ahead.”
O’Donnell noted that the Trump family has thrown itself into cryptocurrency
ventures, forming World Liberty Financial with the family of Steve Witkoff,
Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East. In that context, she asked about
billionaire Changpeng Zhao, the co-founder and former chief executive officer
of Binance. Zhao is cryptocurrency’s richest man. He pleaded guilty in 2023 to
money laundering, resigned from Binance, paid a $50 million fine, and was
sentenced to four months in prison.
Trump pardoned him on October 23."
