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 Lakers are targeting restricted free agents like Jalen Duren and Walker Kessler, while navigating a thin center market and decisions around LeBron James' future at age 42. With free agency starting June 30, GM Rob Pelinka's moves will shape their contention window amid high fan expectations.
