US Senators urge Treasury and Justice Departments to investigate Binance's relationship with Trump
05-09 15:14
Odaily News A group of U.S. Democratic senators (including Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren) sent a joint letter to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, asking for an investigation into Binance's connection with the Trump family's digital asset project. The letter pointed out that Abu Dhabi investment company MXG completed a $2 billion investment in Binance through the USD1 stablecoin controlled by the Trump family in March this year, which raised concerns about compliance risks. In 2023, Binance pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering regulations, and its former CEO CZ was sentenced to prison. Senate Democrats just suspended the passage of the Stablecoin Act on May 9 on the grounds of "preventing current officials from profiting from crypto projects." The joint letter requires the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice to submit three explanations by May 21: Binance's progress in fulfilling the plea agreement, the timetable for exiting the U.S. market, and whether CZ's pardon has been discussed. Earlier news, CZ confirmed that he had applied for Trump's pardon. (Bloomberg)
