Dems seek suspicious activity reports linked to Trump crypto ventures

American Democratic legislators have sent a letter to the US Treasury requiring access to suspicious activity reports (SRAS) on several Crypto projects supported by Trump in the last survey of the president’s digital companies.

Written by representatives Gerald Connolly, Joseph Morelle and Jamie Raskin, the letter of May 14 asks the secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent for all the SRAs deposited since 2023 linked to World Liberty Financial (WLF) and the Official Trump token (Trump).

In the United States, financial institutions must deposit the SRAS with the financial crimes Network, an office of the Treasury Department, when they detect suspicious activity, including money laundering or fraud.

The Balayage Investigation requests everything Sras mentioning Winred, America Pac, Elon Musk, Political Action Committee, PAC, Trump, World Liberty Financial, WLF, Trump, Melania and Justin Sun, at the latest on May 30.

Democratic legislators say their investigation is to “determine whether legislation is necessary to prevent violations of campaigns, consumer protection, corruption, securities fraud and other anti-corruption laws” and to protect themselves against “a financial fault linked to potential or current federal officials”.

Democrats argue that WLF and Trump Coin could be poorly used

As part of the letter, legislators argue that the WLF could be used inadvertently as a “vehicle for hawking foreign influence” because it served part of its sale of token for foreign investors, which are “generally subject to less strict regulations than American investors”.

Justin Sun’s investment in the WLF and the subsequent break of the SEC trial which allegedly alleged that the crypto entrepreneur has broken the securities laws was also reported.
