Summary
This resolution condemns the financial entanglements of World Liberty Financial, Inc. (WLFI) with President Donald J. Trump, the Trump family, and the Trump Administration. WLFI, partly owned by President Trump and his family, launched in September 2024 to promote stablecoins and decentralized finance, attracting significant investments after the 2024 election. The resolution details several controversial financial ties, including a $75,000,000 investment from Justin Sun , who faces a civil fraud case from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and whose blockchain project, TRON, is reportedly used by sanctioned groups. It notes that the SEC under President Trump has paused litigation against Sun. Additionally, DWF Labs , a firm suspected of market manipulation, invested $25,000,000 in WLFI. A key concern is the agreement between MGX Fund Management Limited , an investment firm backed by the government of the United Arab Emirates, and Binance Holdings, Ltd., to use the WLFI stablecoin for a $2,000,000,000 deal. This deal could potentially enrich President Trump and his family by hundreds of millions of dollars from a foreign state. The resolution also points out that Binance Holdings, Ltd. pleaded guilty to anti-money-laundering violations, and its founder served prison time, yet the Trump Administration's SEC has reportedly paused a civil lawsuit against Binance. The resolution concludes by condemning these entanglements for potentially enabling violations of government ethics, facilitating transactions with foreign nationals under federal prosecution, and posing unacceptable conflicts of interest. It explicitly affirms that the MGX Fund Management Limited agreement violates the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, as President Trump did not seek congressional consent. Therefore, it demands the transfer of any proceeds received by President Trump from such agreements to the United States Government.
