Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.

Trust Wallet, the top provider of multi-chain and self-custodial wallets, has made Ledger hardware compatibility available for the Trust Wallet Browser Extension. Users of the Trust Wallet Browser Extension may now gain from an additional layer of protection for their digital assets thanks to hardware solutions.

With this new integration, Trust Wallet offers Ledger customers a simple and adaptable method to access dApps, manage their assets, and move cryptocurrency between online and offline wallets, giving them more control over the security of their assets.

Jean-Francois Rochet, VP of Transactions and Services at Ledger, said: “We’re delighted to provide more security to Trust Wallet users with this integration. Ledger and TrustWallet share the goal of empowering every user to self-custody and manage their own assets, which is the true ethos of crypto.”
