President Donald Trump and top New York officials would face a potential first-in-the-nation state ban on profiting from cryptocurrency businesses while in office under legislation sponsored by a state lawmaker.

“This is at the heart of the integrity of our government,” Myrie said in an interview. “We have seen with this president that there has been an explicit outreach for influence over him.”
