A review by the editorial board relying on analyses from news organizations shows that Mr. Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view. And they continue to grow.

"did the nyt editorial board sign off on the now debunked russia collusion story?"

AI Overview
The New York Times editorial board did not directly "sign off" on news reporting, but the paper extensively covered allegations of 2016 Trump-Russia collusion, sharing a 2018 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. While the Pulitzer Prize Board defended the coverage, critics and findings from the Mueller investigation showed no conspiracy, leading to accusations of promoting a "hoax". 

• Editorial vs. News: The Editorial Board operates independently of the newsroom, which produced the reporting, though they often shared similar viewpoints on the story.
• Controversy and Review: The Pulitzer Board conducted independent reviews, rejecting requests to rescind the award, despite arguments that the reporting relied on now-discredited or unsubstantiated information, such as the Steele dossier.
