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.

The document, certified by the United States Information Agency, shows USAID providing full tuition funding for Anwar al-Awlaki, listed as a Yemeni student under a J-1 exchange visa program, though he was actually a U.S. citizen born in New Mexico.

Al-Awlaki later earned his civil engineering degree around 1994, but his path shifted after 9/11, leading him to al Qaeda leadership in Yemen until a 2011 U.S. drone strike. The resurfaced paperwork, first public in 2015 and highlighted again recently, spotlights vetting risks in taxpayer-funded programs.
