When Donald Trump first arrived in the White House in 2016, reporters spent years untangling the president’s sprawling real estate empire.

This time around, the business empire of Trump 2.0 has expanded to include a booming crypto platform, a major media company that includes the president’s social media outlet, Truth Social and even plans to launch a gold mobile handset. Each new venture provides an avenue for reporters to uncover spheres of influence, financial interests and previously unseen links to leaders in geopolitics and business.

Join the New York Financial Writers’ Association for an illuminating conversation on the Trump business beat. Top reporters from the New York Times, Bloomberg and the Financial Times will discuss the challenges of reporting on Trump’s business empire and offer insights on how to find stories and verify leads.

David Yaffe-Bellamy, a reporter with New York Times, has broken stories documenting Trump’s crypto ambitions.

Annie Massa, a reporter on Bloomberg‘s wealth team, covers the Trump family business interests.

George Steer, a reporter with the Financial Times, has covered the Trump Organization’s holdings, and recently wrote about plans to launch a gold mobile phone.

The panel will be moderated by David Jeans, of Reuters.

Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
