President Trump made over 1,000 equity trades in June, according to a newly released ethics disclosure, shrugging off political pressure over stock trading profits as the midterm elections approach.
A separate ****** ysis from Democratic lawmakers additionally found that Trump's personal investments in oil and gas stocks have been paying off in 2026, with ****** ets that have likely yielded millions in profits.
The ethics disclosure also underscored that Trump has shown little interest in reining in trading done under his name, with an average of over 30 trades a day in June, totaling between $78 million and $263 million in transactions.
It was the latest in a series of eyebrow-raising transactions that stretch back to Trump's inauguration but have accelerated in 2026, with a velocity of trading that has drawn intense criticism, even as the president says neither he nor his family makes the investment decisions themselves.
The report covers the month when ****** eX (SPCX) went public and shows the president made an investment on June 23 of between $15,000 and $50,000 in Elon Musk's company as he joined others in Washington getting in on the IPO.

A Disneyland frequent theme park visitor and fan, known across the internet as "Peter Pan Girl," has now responded to the viral memes surrounding her interactions with the Peter Pan character in the park. Her recent TikToks interacting with the character in the park went viral, resulting in memes and speculation about her relationship with the character performer.
The discussion spread so far online that it even resulted in one of the Peter Pan character performers addressing the controversy, and it's called into question a debate about when character interactions might cross boundaries. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including a new menu at a sit-down restaurant for passholders and the expansion of an airport perk.

TAMARAC, Fla. (AP) — Sporting red-white-and-blue sneakers and a matching bedazzled manicure ahead of Florida's primaries on Tuesday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz smiles and tells voters she is "running for reelection to Congress."
That's true — with a caveat. Wasserman Schultz is seeking her 12th term by running in a new district after Republicans scrambled the state's congressional map earlier this year.
The fallout pushed Wasserman Schultz, a former national party chair with powerful ties in Washington, to cross district lines from her Fort Lauderdale exurb and be the only white candidate against four Black candidates in an area of Broward County that has helped send Black Democrats to Congress since 1992. That's yielded an uncomfortable fight following the U.S. Supreme Court decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act provisions undergirding minority voting strength and effectively cleared Old Confederacy states, including Florida, to reshape House districts.
"For her to come in like this is just another Broward seat, it's a complete erasure of our history, our fight for Black access," said former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, 47, who resigned from the seat in April while facing an ethics investigation but now wants it back.
Another candidate, 27-year-old progressive organizer and substitute teacher Elijah Manley, said Republicans' redistricting ploy is not Wasserman Schultz's fault. But she "had other options," Manley added, including running in her new home district, which was gerrymandered to include the more conservative Gulf Coast.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee recommended Monday that Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., be censured after finding that he engaged in persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct toward two young female aides in his congressional office.
A censure registers the House's deep disapproval of a lawmaker's conduct that does not meet the threshold for expulsion.
Edwards, 65, has denied that any of his conduct was intended as a ******* ual or romantic advance, but the committee said his behavior would "lead a reasonable observer to interpret it as such." It also described his actions as "beyond inappropriate."
The panel highlighted numerous examples of actions it considered improper, including Edwards providing the young women with lavish and recurrent gifts, making comments regarding their appearance and dress, inviting them to intimate dinners and vacations, and sending notes regarding his affection.
The Ethics panel found no evidence Edwards explicitly propositioned any person under his employ or engaged in any ******* ual activity with them. But it also said he failed to adhere to "the spirit of rules prohibiting ******* ual harassment of and unwanted advances to House staffers."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Faced with a narrow path to winning control of the U.S. House, Democrats are seeing fresh opportunity in a northeast Ohio congressional seat where the Republican incumbent is facing mounting pressure over domestic abuse allegations in a bitter and drawn-out dispute with his ex-wife.
Allegations against U.S. Rep. Max Miller, a White House adviser during President Donald Trump's first term, have been public for years but have recently drawn increased media scrutiny amid an escalating legal back-and-forth with his former spouse, who is the daughter of U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. That has Democrats sensing Miller could be vulnerable in a district he won two years ago with just over 51% of the vote.
Over the past week, they have called for Miller to resign, requested a congressional ethics investigation and suggested more help could be directed in the fall toward his Democratic opponent, union ironworker Brian Poindexter. Miller has denied the abuse allegations and filed defamation lawsuits against his ex-wife and a second accuser.
The House Majority PAC, a super political action committee aimed at electing a Democratic majority, said it is monitoring the race's dynamics as part of its strategy to push deeper into GOP territory in this year's midterm elections.
"HMP is willing to do whatever it takes to take back the House, and nothing is off the table," spokesperson CJ Warnke said.

Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said Wednesday that Congress has a "culture of creepiness" when it came to members approaching and soliciting staffers.
Cammack told MeidasTouch's Pablo Manríquez that she "wouldn't feel comfortable sending" her "daughter to work here" in the current congressional environment.
Her comments came after Rep. Jeff Crank (R-Colo.) unveiled a resolution that would mandate lawmakers to confidentially disclose relationships with staffers in other offices or committees to the House Ethics Committee.
"I think we would be better off if members were more focused on their work than enhancing their love life," Cammack said.
She commended the resolution in addressing the power dynamics of these situations.

The Norwegian Football Federation is considering filing a formal complaint to Fifa's ethics committee about the decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's automatic one-man ban during the World Cup.
United States forward Balogun was expected to miss his side's last-16 tie against Belgium after being shown a straight red card during their 2-0 win over Bosnia- Herzegovina.
But, after an intervention from US President Donald Trump, the one-match ban was suspended for 12 months. No reason was given, beyond citing a rule that allows punishments to be suspended.
Balogun started the match, which Belgium won 4-1.
In a statement provided to the BBC, NFF president Lise Klaveness said the federation had reacted with "strong concern" and a decision on whether or not to make a complaint would be made at its next board meeting.

Rep. Jeff Crank (R-Colo.) on Wednesday introduced a resolution requiring House lawmakers to disclose relationships with staffers of other offices or committees to the lower chamber's Committee on Ethics.
Crank's resolution proposes upholding the existing ban on lawmakers from dating their staffers or staffers of a committee they serve on. It also proposes mandating lawmakers confidentially disclose relationships with staffers in other offices or committees to the Ethics panel.
If the circumstances of the relationship changes, members must then give "prompt notification" to the committee.
Under the House Code of Official Conduct, members cannot engage in a "sexual relationship" with their staffers or staffers of committees they work on, with an exception for marriage.
While lawmakers cannot engage in "unwelcome ***** ual advances or conduct" to House employees, the code of conduct does not explicitly bar relationships between members and staffers of other offices and committees.

Norway's football chief told The Times they are set to make a formal complaint to FIFA over the suspension of Folarin Balogun's World Cup ban because it has put "the whole game at risk".
Lise Klaveness, the president of the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF), says she will seek the backing of her board at a meeting on August 6 to lodge the complaint with FIFA's ethics committee over an incident that "should not have happened".
Klaveness told AFP the intention is to "include the Balogun affair" in a complaint already filed by the NFF over FIFA president Gianni Infantino awarding football's governing body's inaugural Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump, which was widely ridiculed.
"I will bring it to a board meeting and discuss with my board, and then we do it," Klaveness told The Times in an interview published on Thursday.
"To me, it should be in the same sphere of ethical complaint."

Argentina players Paredes, Nahuel Molina, Thiago Almada and ****** istant coach Roberto Ayala all appeared to be involved in the fracas on the pitch as Spain celebrated their 1-0 win.

Paredes pushed the Barcelona midfielder to the turf by putting his hand in the Spaniard's face.
Fifa has appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to ****** s what happened and any player or coach involved could receive a suspension while the Argentine Football ****** ociation could also be fined.

Spain midfielder Gavi does not want Argentina's Leandro Paredes to be suspended for his part in the altercation at the end of Sunday's World Cup final.
Paredes, along with team-mate Nahuel Molina and Argentina coach Roberto Ayala, were involved in the brawl seconds after the final whistle blew on Spain's 1-0 victory at the MetLife Stadium.
Fifa has confirmed that no red card was shown to Paredes on the field, but on Monday evening Fifa announced that its disciplinary committee had appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to investigate possible breaches of the Fifa disciplinary code during the incident.
Gavi told El Partidazo de COPE: "I don't think (Paredes) should be suspended. I understand it's not a good image for children, but I think there's also that side to football, which is a bit more physical, more aggressive.
"The most logical thing would have been to send him off during the match, and that's it. In the end, I think it's all football, and it has to be that way."

Jeff Pearlman has spent much of the last several years positioning himself as one of sports media's loudest critics, frequently calling out journalists, broadcasters and media personalities over their work and ethics.
Now, the longtime sportswriter and bestselling author finds himself on the other side of that conversation.
Pearlman, a Southern California resident who has taught journalism as an adjunct professor at Chapman University for the past decade, publicly apologized after YouTube creator Velodus accused him of plagiarizing large portions of a 2021 video about former New York Yankees prospect Ruben Rivera. Awful Announcing was the first to detail the scandal.
Velodus published a detailed follow-up video identifying what he said were 23 instances in which Pearlman's video mirrored his original work, including newspaper clippings, archival footage, photographs and editing choices. According to Velodus, several graphics even retained alterations unique to his original edit.
Pearlman's version appeared on his Press Box Chronicles YouTube channel, which has a significantly larger audience than Velodus' channel, and included a sponsored advertisement. After the allegations gained traction, Pearlman made the Rivera video private, deleted his Bluesky account (he had already previously deleted his X/Twitter account) and later released a TikTok video addressing the controversy.

Jeffrey Lurie has earned one of ESPN’s top humanitarian honors for work that has stretched well beyond football and into autism research, care, and support for families across the world. The Philadelphia Eagles owner and chairman was named this year’s recipient of the Stuart Scott ENSPIRE Award at the 2026 Sports Humanitarian Awards during ESPYS week. Lurie was joined at the event by Stuart Scott’s daughters, as well as Jason and Kylie Kelce, as he received recognition tied to one of the franchise’s most important off-field missions.
The award honors people who have used innovation, risk-taking, and the power of sports to help disadvantaged communities while reflecting values such as fairness, ethics, respect, and fellowship. For Lurie, the recognition is connected to his leadership with the Eagles Autism Foundation and the Lurie Autism Institute, two initiatives that have helped make Philadelphia one of the sports world’s most visible platforms for autism awareness, research, and care.
The Eagles Autism Challenge began in May 2018, and the Eagles Autism Foundation, founded in 2019, has raised more than $56 million through efforts such as the annual Eagles Autism Challenge. The foundation has helped fund more than 223 research projects and community grants worldwide, according to the team, while participant-raised funds from the organization’s signature charity event are invested into autism research and care programs.
Lurie’s impact expanded significantly in 2025, when the Lurie family donated $50 million to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine to establish the Lurie Autism Institute. The joint initiative between the two hospitals was described as the largest single donation to U.S. academic medical centers focused on autism research across the lifespan.
In the past decade, Lurie’s autism-focused efforts have contributed to more than $106 million in research and care. Under his leadership, the Eagles have made the Eagles Autism Challenge a franchise-wide initiative, with players, coaches, executives, and staff members participating in the annual event.

A complaint alleging FIFA president Gianni Infantino has breached rules on political neutrality in his dealings with United States President Donald Trump has been submitted to the International Olympic Committee.
Human rights group FairSquare says Infantino – who became an IOC member in 2020 – has repeatedly breached the Olympic Charter and the IOC’s code of ethics, most recently in his handling of the Folarin Balogun affair.
The United States striker’s one-match ban was suspended by FIFA’s disciplinary committee, freeing him up to play in their World Cup last-16 match against Belgium.
That followed a phone call from President Trump to Infantino, with the Swiss insisting FIFA’s committees are entirely independent.
The Times has reported that the disciplinary committee chair Mohammad Al Kamali made the key decision to suspend the ban alone, having never been the sole arbiter in any previous published disciplinary cases.

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is facing calls for a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation after a coalition of conservative legal organizations accused her of failing to recuse herself from a major climate change case expected to be argued before the high court next term, alleging she publicly endorsed legal theories central to the dispute.
In a letter sent Monday to Senate Judiciary Committee leaders, the coalition urged lawmakers to investigate whether Kagan violated federal ethics rules by participating in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County.
The coalition argued that Kagan compromised her impartiality by writing the foreword to the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, which included a climate science chapter that was later criticized by Congress and Republican attorneys general as biased and was eventually removed.
Suncor Energy v. Boulder County asks whether Colorado local governments can use state law to hold oil and gas companies financially liable for their alleged contributions to climate change.
In her foreword, Kagan wrote that judges would increasingly confront lawsuits involving "climate science" and encouraged them to use the manual as a resource for evaluating scientific evidence.

Former FIFA governance committee chairman Mark Pieth has called on member ***** ociations, particularly those in Europe, to stand up to the president of the ruling body, Gianni Infantino.
In an interview with German paper Tagesspiegel on Monday, Swiss criminal law expert Pieth outlined ways to oust Infantino, who has faced criticism especially in Europe.
"FIFA is an institutional ***** ociation; every member ***** ociation can vote, remove someone from office, or even take someone to court. Every FIFA member has that option," Pieth said.
The 73-year-old said that the lack of such efforts by pointing to what he called the Infantino system.
He said that the Ethics Committee, for example, exists only formally, and that "there is no independence within FIFA — and accordingly, no oversight," Pieth said.

President Donald Trump is in the news for what may be an unexpected reason. A CNBC ****** ysis of the president's most recent financial disclosures shows that Trump made 327 stock purchases on April 8, 2025.
If that date doesn't ring a bell, here's a refresher -- the very next day, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that it was a "GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" and then announced a partial rollback in his "Liberation Day" tariffs that caused the market to jump 9.5% in a day.

There's a lot of discussion among experts about the ethics of Trump's trades, and the White House maintains that the president's investment accounts are managed by professionals who are not in regular communication with Trump. I'm not going to try to parse the legalities that are being debated on public airwaves and in Washington. However, I do think it's worthwhile to look at five megacap tech stocks that were central to Trump's April 2025 buying spree -- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) -- and see how they've performed since that date.
Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Nvidia are all part of the "Magnificent Seven" group of stocks that have been primary drivers in the market for the last several years. The five companies have been closely followed as the appetite for artificial intelligence and AI-powered platforms remakes the market.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who has been hopscotching around North America for most of the last month to attend as many World Cup matches as humanly possible (we've wondered at times whether he has a teleportation device and/or a body double), can't outrun the biggest controversy of the tournament.
The about-face regarding the suspension resulting from U.S. striker Folarin Balogun's red card in the Round of 32, apparently instigated by a phone call from President Trump to Infantino, has had consequences well beyond Belgium trolling Trump with his trademark two-fisted dance.
Rohith Nair of Reuters reports that FairSquare, a human-rights group, has said it file a complaint with the International Olympic Committee over Infantino's "repeated breach ‌of political neutrality rules," specifically as a result of Infantino's arguable kowtowing to Trump.
Previously, FairSquare filed a complaint with the FIFA Ethics Committee in December 2025, based on multiple instances in which Infantino "expressed his public support for the actions and policies" of Trump. The group also complained about Infantino awarding Trump the previously nonexistent FIFA Peace Prize.
Separately, at least 35 European lawmakers have asked the national football ***** ociations of the various European Union countries to request the FIFA Ethics Committee to investigate whether political pressure on Infantino from the top of the U.S. government was a factor in the lifting of the Balogun suspension, along with "other potential breaches of political neutrality" by Infantino — including the phony-baloney Peace Prize, per the ***** ociated Press.

GENEVA (AP) — FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino is being referred to Olympic ethics investigators for a possible breach of political neutrality, a human rights group said Wednesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump helped block a World Cup player’s ban.
Trump took credit Monday for FIFA’s decision — unprecedented in modern World Cup history — to let United States forward Folarin Balogun play Monday against Belgium despite getting a red card in the team’s previous game. A Belgium team clearly fired up by the furor won 4-1 in Seattle.
The IOC cites neutrality among “fundamental principles of Olympism” for sports bodies like FIFA, and has jurisdiction over Infantino since he joined its exclusive group of 100-plus invited members in 2020.
“FairSquare will file a complaint to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regarding FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s repeated breach of political neutrality rules,” the London-based sports and human rights NGO said in a statement Wednesday.
The pledge to file a formal complaint to the IOC Ethics Commission came one day after the Olympic body’s president Kirsty Coventry told reporters none had yet been received.

The Minnesota Vikings can’t catch a break this offseason — and Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano of Two Old Bloggers [2OB] on Vikings 1st & SKOL are here to make sense of the chaos. In this episode, your two favorite old bloggers unpack the Dianna Russini police body cam scandal involving head coach Kevin O’Connell, debate whether it signals a locker room trust crisis, and ask the question every Vikings fan is thinking: does any of this actually matter when the 2026 season kicks off?
Beyond the drama, Darren and Dave get into the real football questions that will define the Vikings’ 2026 season. Can Blake Brandel — a career backup who had never started at center before last year — anchor the offensive line? Will Dallas Turner finally emerge as the edge rusher the Vikings desperately need after trading Jonathan Greenard? And with Ryan Fitzpatrick openly questioning Kyler Murray’s leadership on the Rich Eisen Show, is the Vikings’ new quarterback already carrying baggage before he’s taken a single snap in purple? As Dave puts it: “It’s bad juju.”
With training camp less than four weeks away, Darren and Dave also put the spotlight on Caleb Banks’ mysterious foot injury rehab, the safety position void left by Harrison Smith’s departure, and Tai Felton’s development as a future wide receiver option. The boys wrap with a look at leaked details about the Vikings’ new darker purple uniforms — and as always, the conversation is honest, unfiltered, and unmistakably Viking-obsessed.

Deleonardis presented them to the squad when he met them on Monday, the day before the World Cup co-hosts beat Ecuador in the last 32.
However, Fifa's Code of Ethics has restrictions on offering and accepting gifts, with article 21 stating that such gifts can only be offered or accepted if they "have symbolic or trivial value".

President Donald Trump is officially a crypto billionaire, with proceeds from his memecoin and family crypto company accounting for the bulk of his digital **** ets fortune. But the commander-in–chief has also shown an appetite for blockchain-related stocks and more exotic cryptocurrencies, according to a filing from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics released on Tuesday.
Trump's business entities generated more than $635 million in royalty income from his memecoin and almost $600 million through World Liberty Financial—a crypto company he cofounded with his three sons, longtime business **** ociate Steve Witkoff, and Witkoff's two sons. And the president pocketed nearly $197 million through DT Marks SC, a company that owns 38.5% of Stablecoin Holdco, a Miami-based stablecoin venture.
Trump also has exposure to more niche digital **** ets through his crypto businesses. The entity connected to World Liberty Financial received more than $33 million in annual income from Bitcoin and over $150 million from Ethereum over the course of 2025, plus about $1.8 million from staked Ethereum. Through another company named DT Marks Defi, the president also earned more than $5 million across several altcoins, including LINK, AAVE, ENA, MOVE, and ONDO, and over $56 million from the stablecoin USDC. The president's financial disclosure did not clearly specify how these crypto positions generated income. "Neither the president nor his family has ever engaged—or will ever engage—in conflicts of interest," Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman, told Fortune in a statement.
A January Wall Street Journal investigation revealed that the Trump family secretly sold a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial to Aryam Investment 1, a company backed by Abu Dhabi royal Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who serves as the United Arab Emirates' national security adviser. According to the president's latest financial disclosure, his entities DT Marks Defi and DT Marks SC realized nearly $263 million in net proceeds from the sale.
World Liberty Financial did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An independent external legal review commissioned by HDFC Bank found no evidence to substantiate the governance or ethical concerns raised by its former chairman Atanu Chakraborty.
The bank appointed law firms in the March of this year after Chakraborty stepped down, pointing to "certain happenings and practices within the bank, that I have observed over last two years, are not in congruence with my personal Values and Ethics" as the rationale for his exit.
The exercise looked at whether the issues referred to in Chakraborty's statement were reflected in the record, whether he had formally noted any disagreement, and whether any such disagreement had been dealt with.
The work was carried out by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Wadia Ghandy & Co.
Chakraborty called the report "a hugely caveated one and in a sense superfluous" adding that "appointing a law firm is just a compliance process."
