Techub News reports that, according to Decrypt, U.S. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren urged the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Director Jonathan Gould at a Senate Banking Committee hearing on prudential regulators to either reject or suspend the review of the nationwide trust bank license application for World Liberty Financial.
Warren cited the company’s $500 million stake from the UAE, unresolved financial conflicts involving Trump, and Gould’s own conflicts of interest as a presidential appointee, stating, “President Trump’s cryptocurrency company is now embroiled in the most shameful presidential corruption scandal in U.S. history.” When asked whether the regulatory agency would reject or delay the review of World Liberty Financial, Gould refused to answer, saying his agency would “process the application like any other.”
