Kelly took direct shots at Trump while publicizing the bill, writing in a
press release, “Trump is cashing in on his presidency and making millions from his own crypto coins—this is corruption in broad daylight.”
The press release also pointed out that the Trump family’s net worth has increased by $2.9 billion as a result of his crypto investments, which Kelly says now make up nearly 40 percent of his wealth.
Stone’s response to the bill was, in a word, strong. On Thursday, the Trump adviser
quote-tweeted Kelly’s post about the bill, writing that Kelly was “cashing in on his US Senate seat as a partner in a Chinese communist company that makes surveillance balloons.” For this, Stone says Kelly should be “charged with treason and if convicted executed.”
