qwant news | Jen Psaki Fact-Checks Eric Trump’s Lawsuit Threat On-Air: ’I’ll Let You Be the Judge’

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Jen Psaki responded on “The Briefing” to Eric Trump’s threat to sue her and MS NOW after she reported that he was introduced as a board member of the AI firm ALT5—a company linked to the Trump family’s cryptocurrency business, World Liberty Financial, and reportedly pursuing a deal with a Chinese chip maker tied to the Chinese Communist Party. Psaki clarified that while Trump was never a voting director, he was at one point listed as a board observer, a role that allows attendance but not voting, and that SEC filings and ALT5’s own website had previously identified him as a director before the title was altered. She underscored the company’s deep financial ties to Trump’s crypto venture and the broader context of the Financial Times story, then invited viewers to judge the accuracy of the claims, noting that a Trump representative had not responded to requests for comment.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Eric Trump Has Epic Meltdown at Primetime TV Host by William Vaillancourt

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Eric Trump announced on X that he will sue former White House press secretary Jen Psaki and her network MS NOW for “blatant lies” after Psaki claimed on a Wednesday night monologue that he was on the board of ALT5, was involved in a merger, and had business interests in China; Trump, an executive vice‑president of the Trump Organization, flatly denied any current or past role with ALT5, any Chinese investments, or participation in business discussions during the President’s China trip, saying he was there solely as a supportive son. Psaki’s remarks referenced a New York Times report about a possible Justice Department‑IRS settlement shielding the Trump family from audits, cited a Financial Times story alleging a fintech venture linked to the Trump family was exploring a deal with a Chinese chipmaker, and highlighted prior contracts secured by the Trump sons with the Pentagon, suggesting potential conflicts of interest. The article details both sides’ statements but contains no additional commentary beyond the dispute over the alleged business ties and the threatened lawsuit.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Financial Times: “Eric Trump con il padre in Cina mentre una sua società cerca accordi con Pechino”

Un nuovo conflitto di interessi per la famiglia e l’amministrazione Trump. Eric, terzogenito del presidente degli Stati Uniti, è impegnato con il padre nella visita di Stato a Pechino mentre una società a lui collegata sta valutando un accordo con un produttore cinese di microchip che, nelle valutazioni dei parlamentari americani, sarebbe connesso al Partito comunista cinese. Lo riporta il Financial Times.
La società fintech in questione, Alt5 Sigma, ha sede a Las Vegas e legami finanziari connessi al settore delle criptovalute della famiglia Trump (la World Liberty Financial): ha firmato il mese scorso un memorandum d’intesa con Nano Labs per la costruzione di data center negli Stati Uniti. Secondo i documenti depositati presso le autorità di vigilanza americane, nel 2025 Eric Trump è stato nominato ‘osservatore’ all’interno del consiglio di amministrazione di Alt5 Sigma. A presiedere il consiglio è Zach Witkoff, figlio di Steve Witkoff, inviato del tycoon per il Medio Oriente.
Alt5 Sigma e Nano hanno riferito che si avvarranno del “periodo di valutazione di 90 giorni” per esaminare ulteriori possibilità di collaborazione in ambiti quali i data center per l’intelligenza artificiale (IA), le piattaforme basate su cloud per agenti IA e i sistemi di pagamento nativi per l’IA. Le due società hanno inoltre precisato che “qualsiasi futura collaborazione rimane soggetta a ulteriori negoziazioni”.

Financial Times: “Eric Trump with his father in China while his company seeks deals with Beijing”

A new conflict of interest for the Trump family and administration. Eric, the president’s third-born son, is engaged with his father during the state visit to Beijing while a company linked to him is evaluating an agreement with a Chinese microchip manufacturer that, according to assessments by American parliamentarians, would be connected to the Chinese Communist Party. This is reported by the Financial Times.

The fintech company in question, Alt5 Sigma, is based in Las Vegas and has financial links connected to the Trump family’s cryptocurrency sector (World Liberty Financial): it signed a memorandum of understanding with Nano Labs last month to build data centers in the United States. According to documents filed with US regulatory authorities, Eric Trump was appointed ‘observer’ within the Alt5 Sigma board of directors in 2025. Zach Witkoff, son of Steve Witkoff, a tycoon’s envoy for the Middle East, chairs the board.

Alt5 Sigma and Nano have stated that they will avail themselves of the “90-day evaluation period” to examine further collaboration possibilities in areas such as data centers for artificial intelligence (AI), cloud-based platforms for AI agents, and native payment systems for AI. The two companies also clarified that “any future collaboration remains subject to further negotiations.”

The $1.1 billion Trump International Hotel and Tower planned for the Gold Coast, Australia, has been cancelled after the developer, Altus Property Group’s CEO David Young, said the Iran war made the Trump brand “toxic” to Australians, prompting the Trump Organization to end the deal and accuse Young of financial defaults; Young denied the accusations, insisting the termination was purely business‑related and not personal, while noting the project could proceed without the Trump name—additionally, a local petition opposing the development has amassed over 140,000 signatures, reflecting widespread discomfort with the Trump brand.

The New Republic | Trump’s China Entourage Shows Just How Blatant His Corruption Is by Edith Olmsted

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

President Donald Trump flew to China accompanied by his son Eric, daughter‑in‑law Lara, and a roster of more than a dozen top American CEOs—including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink and Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg—who hope the summit with President Xi will secure business favors; critics say the trip exemplifies blatant corruption, noting Eric Trump’s lucrative real‑estate deals and the Trump Organization’s past $5.5 million Chinese spending, while other reports from the same day detail Trump’s dismissive remarks that Americans’ financial hardships “don’t even a little bit” motivate his Iran‑war negotiations, the contentious Senate hearing where FBI Director Kash Patel clashed over alleged drinking problems, an ICE raid that mistakenly detained a U.S. citizen despite his Real ID, and a proposed $1 billion White House ballroom project that would siphon taxpayer money into extensive security upgrades.
