[U.S. Senator Calls for Suspension of Trust Bank Application Related to WLFI, Citing Trump's Failure to Divest Interests as a Conflict]
Odaily Planet Daily News – U.S. Senator and senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, Elizabeth Warren, has called for a suspension of the national trust bank license application related to World Liberty Trust Co. until Donald Trump divests his family's holdings in the associated digital asset business. According to reports, Warren has written to Jonathan Gould, Acting Comptroller of the Currency, requesting a delay in the application process as long as Trump retains these interests. She pointed out that if the application is approved, the rules set by regulatory agencies could directly impact the profitability of businesses related to the president, posing a significant conflict of interest. Warren stated that Congress failed to address such issues when passing the GENIUS Act, and therefore, the Senate has a responsibility to confront these conflicts while reviewing crypto market structure legislation. Currently, the Senate Banking Committee is set to hold hearings on the related bill, but the latest leaked draft has yet to include the government ethics provisions previously demanded by Democrats.
