It's "Crypto Week" in Congress, and experts continue to warn that legislation Donald Trump wants passed quickly could give the president ample opportunities to grift while leaving Americans more vulnerable to scams and financial ruin.

Recession risks are down, but keep your guard up. Getty Images/Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNET In April, recession fears surged after President Trump began his chaotic tariff campaign. Forecasts for a severe economic downturn hit 66%, according to Polymarket. As Trump deferred some of his most aggressive trade proposals, those forecasts leveled out, but the contours of a potential recession are hard to ignore. Growth in the first quarter of 2025? Down.

Last month, the Aqua 1 Foundation, founded by Dave Lee, purchased $100 million worth of tokens from the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial (WLF. Someone putting cash directly into the President’s coffers is a normal thing in the Trump era, but there’s something odd about this particular purchase.

The FBI Is Using Polygraphs to Test Officials' Loyalty

Typically, the F.B.I. has turned to polygraph tests to sniff out employees who might have betrayed their country or shown they cannot be trusted with secrets. Since Kash Patel took office as the director of the F.B.I., the bureau has significantly stepped up the use of the lie-detector test, at times subjecting personnel to a question as specific as whether they have cast aspersions on Mr. Patel himself.
