Senate Democrats Seek Investigation Into Trump Family’s Crypto Ties to UAE
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Elissa Slotkin have demanded a federal probe into potential ethics violations involving former President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures. The inquiry focuses on World Liberty Financial (WLF), a Trump-linked crypto firm, and its dealings with United Arab Emirates entities—including approvals for sensitive AI chip exports during Trump’s administration.
National security concerns loom over the transactions, with lawmakers questioning whether TRUMP associates improperly influenced technology transfers. The New York Times reported that WLF’s UAE partnerships coincided with relaxed export controls on advanced semiconductors—a nexus of crypto, geopolitics, and cutting-edge tech now under scrutiny.
