BREAKING: U.S. senators have called for a federal investigation into Trump’s World Liberty Financial and revealed the actions they are taking regarding his assets.

A group of U.S. senators has formally called for a federal investigation into **World Liberty Financial** (WLFI), the cryptocurrency venture closely linked to former President Donald Trump and his family, intensifying scrutiny over its operations, fundraising, and potential regulatory compliance issues.

The request, which has gained traction in recent days and was highlighted across financial and crypto news outlets, urges federal authorities—including agencies like the Department of Justice and Treasury—to examine whether the firm has adequately adhered to financial regulations, disclosure requirements, and safeguards against illicit activities.

Concerns raised by lawmakers center on how World Liberty Financial has marketed its offerings, structured its token sales (including the $WLFI governance token), and communicated risks to investors.

Previous reports from 2025, led by senators such as Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed, alleged possible ties to suspicious entities, including wallets linked to sanctioned actors from North Korea, Russia, and Iran, though the company has denied wrongdoing and stated it conducts rigorous anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) checks.

World Liberty Financial, which lists Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Barron Trump as co-founders and Donald Trump as “Co-Founder Emeritus,” has raised significant funds through token sales and positioned itself as a player in decentralized finance (DeFi).

The Trump family reportedly receives a substantial portion of net proceeds from token sales.

The senators’ call represents a request for review rather than the launch of a formal probe, as lawmakers lack direct authority to initiate investigations. Federal agencies will determine whether to proceed and in what form.

No formal charges have been announced, and World Liberty Financial has not issued a public response to the latest request.

Trump has not directly commented on the development, though supporters view such scrutiny as politically motivated, while critics argue it is warranted given the project’s high-profile connections and implications for financial transparency.

The move comes amid broader congressional debates over oversight of cryptocurrency platforms, politically connected enterprises, and alternative financial systems.

The situation underscores ongoing tensions between innovation in digital assets and concerns about accountability and national security risks.

Further developments are expected as federal agencies assess the call for investigation.
