UAE’s $500M Investment in Trump-Linked Crypto Venture Sparks Congressional Inquiry
U.S. Representative Ro Khanna has initiated a congressional inquiry into a $500 million investment by an Abu Dhabi-linked group into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture connected to the TRUMP family. The investigation seeks to uncover ownership structures, fund flows, and potential ties to the former president's family.
Khanna, serving as ranking member of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition, has demanded comprehensive documentation including ownership records, bank transfers, and internal communications. The probe focuses on whether any payments reached Trump-affiliated entities during a period of consequential policy decisions.
The inquiry elevates scrutiny of cryptocurrency ventures intersecting with political figures, particularly those receiving substantial foreign investments. Khanna framed the investigation as a matter of national security and public transparency rather than routine financial oversight.
