Zach Witkoff, the co-founder and CEO of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture, was arrested four years ago on a cocaine charge that has since been dropped, according to a new report and court records.
Witkoff is the CEO of World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture he co-founded with members of President Donald Trump’s family, including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
He is also the son of Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East.
The Newsground has obtained body camera footage of Zach Witkoff’s arrest on New Year’s Day 2022 at the Miami nightclub E11even.
Witkoff was handcuffed and repeatedly told officers he did “nothing wrong,” the footage shows.
Eventually, no charges were filed in the case.
