According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, US crypto executives may face stricter congressional scrutiny next year due to their relationships with President Trump. A watchdog plan drafted by an external progressive group led by a former aide to Senator Elizabeth Warren lists Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong as a proposed witness for a hearing, suggesting questioning Coinbase about its donations to the White House banquet hall construction project and potential benefits received. World Liberty Financial is also listed as a potential target, involving Trump's financial relationship with the company, the Trump administration's relaxation of crypto enforcement, and the company's relationship with Binance. The plan has circulated in Washington and been reviewed by Democratic staff, but is not an official congressional plan. Furthermore, Senator Richard Blumenthal has sent letters to executives at crypto companies such as Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Paxos, and Gemini, requesting information regarding donations to the White House banquet hall construction project. https://wublock123.com/news/coinbase-ceo-crypto-execs-facing-congress-probe-over-trump-ties-71937
