Three Democratic senators—Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, and Richard Blumenthal—are seeking transparency from the Trump$TRUMP administration regarding its interactions with Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ). Zhao, who served four months in prison after pleading guilty to violating anti-money-laundering laws, has formally applied for a presidential pardon. Concerns have arisen over potential conflicts of interest, as Zhao’s pardon coincides with financial ties between Binance and former President Trump’s $TRUMP family, particularly through their crypto venture, World Liberty Financial.
