In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance. The demand stems from a September report by Accountable.US alleging the project sold $WLFI governance tokens to wallets linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, a Russian sanctions-evasion stablecoin, Iran's NoBitex exchange, and the sanctioned mixer Tornado Cash. DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

In January 2024, Laura Loomer tweeted that rival Nikki Haley wanted to 'bomb Iran' based on her CNBC comments urging strikes on Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria—comments that stopped short of targeting Iran directly. The post gained fresh attention this week during Trump's 'Operation Epic Fury,' a three-week campaign hitting over 1,000 Iranian nuclear sites, missile facilities, and more, launched March 1 to curb Tehran's threats. Critics like Glenn Greenwald and the Hodgetwins called out the irony, while Loomer backed the strikes after reportedly speaking with Trump, exposing divides among conservatives over his hawkish shift from past peace pledges.

The quake hit at 11:12 UTC—7:12 a.m. local time—at a shallow 35-kilometer depth along the Nazca-South American plate boundary. Chile's location on the Pacific Ring of Fire means thousands of such events each year, though this one stayed far enough offshore to avoid shaking land much. It gained notice alongside recent global quakes, like deadly 7.2 and 7.5 tremors in Venezuela that killed nearly 200, a 6.9 off Japan, and a 5.6 in Northern California, with some online speculation dismissed by seismologists as normal tectonic activity.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake jolted the Pacific Ocean early Thursday morning, 245 kilometers off Antofagasta in northern Chile. No damage or injuries came from the offshore rumble.

Legal journalist Karyn Maughan examined seven major cases against Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema, including his October 2025 conviction on 2018 firearm charges that brought a five-year sentence—he's free pending appeal. Other probes, like tax evasion tied to the VBS scandal, went unprosecuted, while past hate speech led to fines. Published Saturday amid the first voter registration for November 4 local elections, the article drew sharp divides: EFF backers called it a smear, while critics welcomed the review. Malema pushed automatic registration via a new bill and rallied youth at stations, as over 23,000 sites saw steady turnout from the 28 million already enrolled out of 39 million eligible.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

As South Africans queued at registration stations this weekend, a detailed News24 piece laid out Julius Malema's string of legal battles—from firearm convictions to tax probes—questioning if accountability is finally catching up.

Irving's claim hit a nerve as Brunson powers the Knicks with 29.5 points per game through four Finals games, including 36 in their record 29-point comeback win over the Spurs. Critics highlight Irving's 2019 Celtics playoffs, where he averaged just 20.4 points on 35.6% shooting as the top option in a losing effort. Defenders note his strong head-to-head stats against Brunson and efficiency as a No. 2 scorer, while Brunson ties NBA greats with four straight 40-point playoff games. Game 5 heads to San Antonio on Saturday.

On June 5, the Pretoria High Court ruled Mchunu guilty for repeating defamatory claims accusing Malema of shielding undocumented migrants and taking R60 million from Nigerian drug cartels, breaching earlier interdicts. Mchunu complied by posting an unreserved apology on social media, which suspended his 10-day arrest warrant. But Malema filed an urgent application on June 8 alleging further defiance, seeking a six-month prison term without fine; a hearing is set for June 17. Mchunu insists his remorse is genuine and expresses no fear of jail in a recent interview.
