Summary
Senior Senate Democrats on Friday urged Republican counterparts to open formal investigations into President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures, framing them as potential national security risks.
The push followed Trump’s financial disclosure last week showing at least $1.4 billion in crypto-related earnings, a figure Democrats said intensified concerns about profiteering from public office.
Ranking members of several powerful Senate committees signed the joint statement, marking an escalation from criticism to calls for official probes.
Democrats also accused Trump of corruption, arguing the scale of the crypto income raises conflict-of-interest questions with implications beyond ethics alone.
