PANews reported on November 18th, citing CNBC, that two US senators have urged the Justice Department and Treasury Department to investigate World Liberty Financial, citing alleged links to illicit actors in North Korea and Russia. On Tuesday, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed sent a letter to Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing concerns about World Liberty Financial, stating that the cryptocurrency company, heavily owned and operated by the Trump family, could pose a risk to national security. The letter states that World Liberty Financial lacks sufficient safeguards to prevent bad actors from transferring funds or influencing its governance.
