Senate Committee Investigates Trump’s Crypto Connections for Potential Conflicts of Interest
A U.S. Senate investigative committee is examining potential conflicts of interest related to former President Donald Trump’s growing involvement in cryptocurrency. The investigation focuses on financial ties to the $TRUMP meme coin and his family’s DeFi platform, World Liberty Financial (WLF), amid concerns about foreign influence and ethical breaches.
Senator Richard Blumenthal, ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, sent letters on May 6 to executives associated with Trump’s crypto ventures. Recipients included Bill Zanker of Fight Fight Fight LLC, the entity behind the $TRUMP token, and Zach Witkoff of WLF. The inquiry aims to clarify how these financial activities intersect with political operations.
