Democrats Scrutinize Trump-Linked Crypto Ventures in Treasury Probe
Democratic lawmakers are intensifying their examination of former President Donald Trump’s ties to cryptocurrency ventures, urging the Treasury Department to disclose suspicious activity reports (SARs) related to his digital engagements. The focus centers on World Liberty Financial and the OFFICIAL TRUMP token, with concerns over potential foreign influence and market manipulation through Trump-themed memecoins.
Representatives Gerald Connolly, Joseph Morelle, and Jamie Raskin formally requested access to SARs filed since 2023, citing risks of fraudulent or corrupt use of politically oriented fundraising mechanisms. The MOVE reflects growing regulatory attention on the intersection of cryptocurrency and political figures.
