Senators seek probe of Trump crypto venture over alleged token sales linked to North Korea and Russia​

  • Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed are seeking a probe of a Trump-tied crypto firm over alleged links to illicit actors in North Korea and Russia.
  • A watchdog flagged $WLFI sales to “various highly suspicious entities,” raising security concerns.
  • The push comes as Congress weighs rules that could limit oversight of governance tokens.
Two U.S. Senators are pressing the Department of Justice and the Treasury to investigate a crypto company closely tied to the family of U.S. President Donald Trump over alleged links to illicit actors in North Korea and Russia.

In a letter on Tuesday, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Jack Reed, D-R.I., minority members on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, raised concerns that World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm heavily owned and run by the Trump family, may pose national security risks.

The letter — obtained exclusively by CNBC and addressed to Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — argued that World Liberty Financial lacks adequate safeguards to prevent bad actors from moving funds or gaining influence over its governance.

Inside American Bitcoin: How Eric Trump added a $1.5 billion company to his family's crypto empire​

Jan 21, 2026
The Trump family reshaped its business empire by embracing cryptocurrency. Now American Bitcoin is mining that digital gold.
Over the past few years, the U.S. has quietly become the leader in the creation of Bitcoin, and American Bitcoin—where Eric Trump is cofounder and chief strategy officer aims to ride this Bitcoin mining wave.
More recently, the crypto industry has also become intertwined with a Trump corporate brand best known for traditional real estate. In just over a year, the family has reportedly made at least $1 billion in pretax earnings from multiple crypto ventures that share a common playbook with American Bitcoin: attracting savvy partners and executing complicated transactions that position the family’s business organizations to scoop up profits. But the company’s success is far from guaranteed.
