Vance L. Boelter, 57, the prime suspect in the targeted shootings of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, sent a chilling text around 6 a.m. Saturday to his longtime roommate: “I love you guys… I may be dead shortly… I’m sorry for all the trouble.” Alarmed, the roommate alerted authorities. Boelter, who once worked under governors Walz and Dayton, had struggled financially despite multiple ventures. He voted for Trump and held anti‑abortion views, though friends say politics “wasn’t the thing that defined him.” He is still at large, considered armed and dangerous.

US President Donald Trump earned $57.7 million from a cryptocurrency-related venture within a year, according to a report by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). Trump’s earnings stemmed from licensing fees through CIC Digital LLC and CIC Ventures LLC, connected to his NFT project launched in December 2022. These entities also facilitated payments in Ethereum for the Trump Digital Trading Cards. Trump, previously a crypto skeptic, has since embraced the digital currency space. Despite legal battles, including a 34-count felony conviction in New York, his financial disclosures reflect robust earnings from diverse sources, with cryptocurrency ventures becoming a significant contributor by 2023.
