Trump ex-wife calls on US president to "drop case against Roger Ver"
On March 17, Marla Maples, the second wife of US President Donald Trump, posted a message on social media platform X last Sunday, calling on Trump and his team to drop their lawsuit against Roger Ver, an early bitcoin investor. Videos of Roger Ver's philanthropic work have been widely circulated online by freedom advocates including Ryan Fournier, co-founder of "Students for Trump".
Last week, a group of international supporters posted a video showing Roger Ver's philanthropy-related videos, and Trump's ex-wife Marla Maples forwarded Fournier's post to her 61,500 followers on the X platform on Sunday. Maples added: "Share more about the call to drop the indictment against Roger Ver." In her message, she @U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, White House Counsel Dave Warrington, Elon Musk, and President Trump's @realDonaldTrump X account.
Roger Ver, known online as "Bitcoin Jesus" and the former chief executive of digital wallet developer Bitcoin.com, was arrested in Spain in May last year and charged in the US with mail fraud, tax evasion and filing false tax returns.
