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.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed have fired off a letter urging a federal probe into World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's crypto project, over alleged sales to North Korean hackers and sanctioned entities.

On January 8, 2026, ICE agents detained the 31-year-old Mexican construction worker in a St. Paul parking lot during a targeted operation; hours later at an ICE facility, he was found with devastating head injuries including multiple fractures and hemorrhages. Castañeda Mondragón claims masked agents beat him with a baton and used racist slurs, while ICE says he injured himself by fleeing while handcuffed and hitting a concrete barrier. Medical staff doubted ICE's account, citing CT scans inconsistent with a single fall, and a federal judge ordered his release after ruling the detention unlawful. The FBI and St. Paul police launched probes in mid-February, though much surveillance video was overwritten.

Key Takeaway

Alberto Castañeda Mondragón woke up in the hospital with eight skull fractures and brain bleeds so bad he forgot his own daughter. Now, conflicting stories from him and ICE have sparked investigations by the FBI and local police.

In February 2019, Aisha was abducted near her home in Galkayo, assaulted, mutilated, and killed; her father later chose clan relatives to carry out the 2020 public firing squad in Bosaso after a landmark DNA conviction under Puntland's Sexual Offences Act.

After Israel recognized Somaliland's independence in December 2025, the self-declared republic invited Greece to establish a presence at Berbera, near a strait handling 12 percent of world trade disrupted by Houthi attacks since late 2023. The port, partly run by Dubai's DP World, has grown with rising container volumes, and analysts see potential for Greece's massive merchant fleet to help secure shipping lanes against threats from Houthis and others. While Turkey and Somalia oppose the moves, Greek commentators welcome practical ties in ports and security, though Athens has not yet responded officially.

Key Takeaway

Somaliland's leaders reached out to Greece, calling it a 'maritime titan' to partner at the strategic Berbera port right by the busy Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
