Democrats are preparing to investigate President Donald Trump’s family business dealings, including its cryptocurrency ventures, after winning control of the U.S. House of Representatives. World Liberty Financial, a company associated with the Trump family, is expected to be among the first potential targets, while lawmakers also plan to examine Trump’s pardon of Binance co-founder Zhao Changpeng.
Representative Robert Garcia, who is expected to become chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said the committee would investigate the Trump family’s business activities. The inquiry is expected to cover the family’s involvement in the cryptocurrency industry, according to Wu Blockchain.
World Liberty Financial Could Face Early Scrutiny
World Liberty Financial is likely to be one of the first companies examined as part of the planned investigations. The company is connected to the Trump family’s cryptocurrency ventures, placing it within the scope of the broader review of the family’s business dealings.
Related inquiries could begin as early as February, Wu Blockchain reported. However, the available information does not specify which particular transactions, business arrangements or activities involving World Liberty Financial would be examined first.
The anticipated investigation would place the Trump family’s crypto-related business interests under scrutiny by the House Oversight Committee. Garcia is expected to lead the committee as Democrats prepare to use their control of the House to examine the administration and the president’s associated business activities.
Trump’s Pardon of Binance Co-Founder Also Under Review
Democrats have also indicated that they intend to investigate Trump’s pardon of Zhao Changpeng, the co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange Binance. The proposed review adds another cryptocurrency-related issue to the expected congressional inquiries.
Zhao, widely known as CZ, previously helped the Trump family launch a stablecoin, according to the report. That connection is relevant to the planned examination of the pardon, which Democrats have identified as a separate subject for investigation.
The planned inquiries therefore involve two distinct areas: the Trump family’s cryptocurrency business interests, including World Liberty Financial, and the decision to pardon Zhao. The source does not provide further details about the scope of the proposed review or identify specific findings that lawmakers expect to pursue.
Wu Blockchain reported that the investigations could begin as early as February, with World Liberty Financial potentially among the first targets and Trump’s pardon of Binance co-founder Zhao Changpeng also set for scrutiny.
