The Senate Democrats are calling for a hearing on the Trump family’s crypto project and its ties to the Abu Dhabi royal family.

ME News message, June 24 (UTC+8). Democratic senators in the U.S. have written to Republican leadership, demanding that a hearing be held immediately regarding the potential relationship between Trump family’s crypto project World Liberty Financial and the Abu Dhabi royal family. Previously, The Wall Street Journal reported that an investment entity backed by Abu Dhabi royal family member Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan secretly acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial. The project is a DeFi and stablecoin initiative, and Trump and his three sons are listed as advisors. The report says the agreement was signed by Eric Trump four days before Trump’s inauguration as U.S. President in January 2025, with a deal size of $500 million, half of which was prepaid. Approximately $187 million went to entities controlled by the Trump family, and at least $31 million went to entities related to the family of World Liberty co-founder Steve Witkoff. Witkoff was later appointed the U.S. Middle East envoy, and his son, Zach Witkoff, currently serves as CEO of World Liberty. Trump’s side stated that he was not aware of this $500 million investment and did not directly participate in the day-to-day operations of World Liberty Financial. The Democrats believe this matter involves potential conflicts of interest among the president’s family business interests, foreign capital, and government diplomatic duties, and therefore urge the Senate led by Republicans to launch an investigation as soon as possible.
