BREAKING: The Labor Department has withdrawn guidance that discourages bosses from offering crypto in workers’ 401k plans.
The Trump family, and much of the administration, is heavily invested in crypto.
The crypto industry also spent about $238 million on the 2024 elections.

Former US president is reviewing treatment options with family as cancer has spread to the bone
