Trump Reports at Least $1.4B in 2025 Crypto Earnings | Balance of Power: Late Edition 07/01/2026. "Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Republican Congressman Mike Flood of Nebraska says he has an "open mind" to adding ethics provisions to crypto market-structure legislation, including limits on executives or family members operating in the space. Michael Cadenazzi, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, says the U.S. defense industrial base has suffered from decades of insufficient attention to capacity, leaving the country with bottlenecks, single-source risks and dependence on foreign suppliers. Richard Painter, former chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, says President Donald Trump's crypto ventures could violate the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause if foreign government money is involved, and calls his holdings a "clear conflict of interest" as his administration regulates the industry.
