Trump’s Crypto Ventures Spark Ethics Probe Over Transparency and Security

Donald Trump’s involvement in cryptocurrency ventures has led to calls for a formal ethics investigation by US Representative Gerald Connolly. Concerns are growing over potential conflicts of interest and transparency issues related to Trump’s financial ties, particularly his role in the crypto project and the launch of the "TRUMP" meme coin. Connolly has urged the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to investigate whether Trump’s activities violate ethics and transparency standards, warning that these ventures could compromise national security and allow foreign entities to gain undue influence. The controversy centers around WLF, a cryptocurrency initiative tied to Trump’s vision of financial independence, with reports linking Justin Sun to the project.
