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.

The U.S. Justice Department released nearly 3.5 million pages of Epstein files on January 30, 2026, under the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump in November 2025. These documents detail Epstein's sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell's case, and his 2019 death, naming prominent figures but leading to few prosecutions so far. CGTN's mid-February broadcast highlighted victims' exposed names versus protected abusers, contrasting with more measured U.S. coverage and sparking global talks on elite accountability amid international fallout like Prince Andrew's arrest.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

CGTN host Wang Guan likened the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files to a 'CT scan of the whole system,' exposing courts, banks, and politicians too powerful to face charges.

Grassroots conservatives in Texas are backing Republican challenger Doc Chambers, a Purple Heart recipient and outsider pushing for a border task force, no property taxes, energy independence, and election audits, after Turning Point Action endorsed incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott on February 19. The group's executive dismissed Chambers as having 'no shot,' sparking online outrage over perceived establishment influence, including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's prior $1 million donation to Turning Point. With early voting underway ahead of the March 3 primary, Abbott holds a dominant lead and massive $106 million war chest, but supporters like Sidney Powell and Craig Sawyer hail Chambers as the principled alternative despite lacking poll support.
