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.

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.

He described the move as 'mission-driven renewal' and 'strategic adaptation' to pastoral challenges like priest shortages, quoting Jeremiah's hopeful words and earning warm support from fellow bishops.

Keir Starmer's government agreed in principle to a 700-page Gibraltar pact last year to ease post-Brexit borders, but opponents like Priti Patel call it a cover-up lacking firm sovereignty guarantees and allowing Spanish checks at key sites.

The Foreign Office promises parliamentary scrutiny, while Gibraltar's Chief Minister supports it for economic benefits, highlighting tensions between decolonization and strategic security.
