The X accounts of two family members of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to have been hacked on Tuesday in order to promote a scam aimed at cashing in on the Trump family’s nascent crypto venture.

The hacks come as the former president prepares to release his crypto policy platform and his campaign wrestles with the fallout of a foreign cyberattack.

Shortly after 8:15 p.m. ET, the X account belonging to Trump’s daughter-in-law, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, appeared to announce that the digital currency project, dubbed World Liberty Financial, had been launched.

The account provided several links to Trump’s 1.7 million followers to a coin and websites claiming to be “the only official channels of World Liberty Financial.”

The Biden administration will announce a series of actions Wednesday targeting what it says are Russian government-sponsored attempts to manipulate U.S. public opinion ahead of the November election, two senior officials told NBC News.

Some of the alleged manipulation has been through RT, a Russian-backed media network, the sources said. The expected moves include Treasury sanctions and a law enforcement action by the Justice Department. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to speak publicly Wednesday afternoon about the announcement.

U.S. intelligence agencies have previously assessed that Russia wants to interfere in the 2024 election and flagged RT as a source of Russian propaganda and disinformation and required it to register as a foreign agent.

Trump is dismissing national polls that show Harris is outperforming him, within the margin of error. It comes as the vice president is set to propose a series of new benefits for small-business owners in an effort to support the creation of millions of new businesses and bolster her economic policies. NBC News’ Peter Alexander reports for "TODAY."

As Harris hits the campaign trail in New Hampshire today, Trump interviewed with a local media outlet and said there's not much preparation he can do ahead of the debate on Tuesday.

"You have to know your subject. You’re living with your subject. I live with my subject. I live with all of these, these horrible problems that they’ve caused because we’ve got to straighten them out," he said. "We’re going to make America great again. So, you know, I do, I have meetings on it. We talk about it, but there’s not a lot you can do. Either know your subject or not, either have good policy or not."

Trump's nephew Fred Trump III said in an interview this morning on CNN that last year, when he called this uncle asking for financial help for his disabled son William, the former president told him, "'He doesn't recognize you. Let him die and move down to Florida.'"

Trump is pressuring Republicans to shut down the government at the end of this month if Congress doesn’t pass a GOP-backed proposal to establish new election rules nationwide.

Trump has called on Republicans in Congress to link funding the government with the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote — in a bid to target noncitizen voting, which is already illegal. And House Republican leaders are considering adopting the strategy and picking a fight with Democrats.

As Trump tries to win over Jewish voters in the 2024 election, he’s made a point of attacking Jewish Democrats — targeting the faith of three of the most prominent Jewish Americans in politics and criticizing any Jew who backs Democrats as an “absolute fool” who needs “their head examined.”

Those attacks have increasingly colored the background of a pivotal fight for potential swing voters: Jewish Americans in critical battleground states, a group that has consistently supported Democrats in past elections and, this year, is increasingly concerned about issues including rising antisemitism at home, U.S. support for Israel in its war in Gaza, and the hostages held by Hamas — six of whom, including one American, were recently killed in Hamas captivity.

A number of Jewish advocates, quick to note Jewish voters are voting on an array of issues beyond Israel, say Trump’s attacks are blatantly antisemitic and lean on age-old tropes suggesting “dual loyalty” for American Jews between the U.S. and the Jewish state. Even some of Trump’s allies on the right view the comments as increasingly unhelpful in the broader effort to win over a small but meaningful number of Jewish voters in a close election.
