‘Just Because They Say It Doesn’t Mean It’s True,’ Donald Trump Jr. Rejects World Liberty Financial Colla – Benzinga<\/p>\n
The Trump family is not walking away from the World Liberty Financial decentralized finance project and the project is not collapsing, Donald Trump Jr. has reportedly said.<\/p>\n
“Just because they say it doesn’t mean it’s true,” CoinDesk quoted<\/a> Trump Jr. as saying on May 7 at the Consensus 2026 cryptocurrency conference in Miami in response to a question about speculation that the Trump family is distancing itself from the project.<\/p>\n The speculation that circulated<\/a> last month on X came after the team page was removed from the project\u2019s website.<\/p>\n Don’t Miss:<\/p>\n “Narratives get created,” Trump Jr. reportedly said. “They’re driven, and they’re bot-farm based.”<\/p>\n Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial CEO Zach Witkoff also on the panel said that Trump Jr. and Eric Trump had not abandoned the project, according to CoinDesk. Witkoff framed the removal of the project\u2019s team page as a brief website change.<\/p>\n As of last check, however, the WLFI team page remains down.<\/p>\n Trump and Witkoff\u2019s remarks come even as World Liberty Financial is locked in a tense legal battle with its one-time biggest investor, cryptocurrency billionaire Justin Sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Tron blockchain founder sued<\/a> World Liberty Financial in California last month, accusing the project of unfairly freezing his tokens and attempting to coerce him into making further investments.<\/p>\n Trending: Discover How AI Can Turn Your Investment Ideas Into Tradable Assets \u2014 See How<\/a><\/p>\n World Liberty Financial filed a countersuit<\/a> against Sun earlier this month, accusing him of defamation and tanking the price of the project\u2019s WLFI token.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t have filed if we didn\u2019t have the receipts,\u201d Witkoff reportedly said at Consensus.<\/p>\n WLFI was most recently trading around $0.08, down nearly 80% from its record price of $0.33 reached in September.<\/p>\n Read Next:\u00a0<\/p>\n Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market<\/p>\n Connect Invest<\/p>\n Mode Mobile<\/p>\n rHealth<\/p>\n rHealth is building a space-tested diagnostics platform designed to bring lab-quality blood testing closer to patients in minutes rather than weeks<\/a>.
