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 a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

The clip, shared on Friday, gathers moments from May to December 2021 where President Biden, Vice President Harris, Press Secretary Psaki, and Treasury Secretary Yellen downplayed rising costs, often citing Federal Reserve views. Inflation climbed from 1.4 percent when Biden took office to a 40-year peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022, fueled by supply chain issues, strong demand, energy shocks, and stimulus spending. While some blame administration policies like the American Rescue Plan, others note global pressures, with prices now steady near the Fed's 2 percent target by late 2025 after rate hikes brought it down from the peak.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Back in 2021, top Biden officials like Janet Yellen and Jen Psaki kept calling surging inflation 'transitory' in speeches and briefings. A resurfaced montage has people revisiting those assurances as prices hit record highs.
