Brian Ballard, a prominent Washington lobbyist known as the "Trump whisperer," has fallen out of favor with the Trump administration following an incident in early March. Ballard, who had built a reputation for securing wins for corporate clients within the administration, was linked to a controversial Truth Social post by former President Donald Trump endorsing the creation of a "Crypto Strategic Reserve" including cryptocurrencies XRP, Solana, and Cardano. The post was reportedly influenced by a lobbying firm representing Ripple Labs, a client of Ballard. This revelation led to Ballard being declared persona non grata in the West Wing. Trump reportedly felt "played" after learning about Ballard's undisclosed ties to Ripple Labs. The incident also drew immediate complaints from David Sacks, the White House "crypto czar," highlighting internal discord over the crypto endorsement.
