Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim have called on the U.S. Treasury to investigate a $500 million foreign investment from UAE-backed entities into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company connected to former President Trump’s family. The investment granted a 49% equity stake just before Trump’s inauguration, raising concerns about foreign influence and national security risks due to ties with UAE’s national security adviser and AI firm G42. Lawmakers urge scrutiny over the origins of the funds, potential special treatment, and risks of sensitive data exposure to foreign intelligence.
