The lawmakers cited reports alleging large sums moved through Binance to terrorist groups and sanctions evaders, and raised concerns about the exchange's ties to the Trump-linked USD1 stablecoin and a related $2 billion investment. The letter also referenced Binance founder Changpeng Zhao's 2023 guilty plea and subsequent pardon by President Trump. Neither the Treasury Department nor the Justice Department has publicly responded to the senators' request.

The White House released images of President Donald Trump monitoring "Operation Epic Fury" from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and other officials. The joint U.S.-Israel military operation targeted Iran, and it has been confirmed that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strike.

The United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, in what President Donald Trump described as an operation to eliminate an "imminent threat," destroy Iran's missile and naval capabilities, and encourage Iranians to overthrow their government. Trump subsequently announced that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes, and Iran has since launched retaliatory missile attacks on US, Israeli, and allied targets across the region. The military action represents a significant shift for Trump, who spent years criticizing regime change wars and positioned himself as a peace-oriented candidate before embracing what analysts describe as an open-ended conflict with unclear goals and consequences.
The White House released photos on Saturday showing President Donald Trump and top advisors, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, monitoring joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran, dubbed "Operation Epic Fury," from what appeared to be Mar-a-Lago in Florida. A separate image showed Vice President JD Vance overseeing operations from the White House Situation Room alongside Cabinet members including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Trump announced that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes, though Tehran has not confirmed this claim.
World Liberty Financial has launched a real-time proof-of-reserves system for its USD1 stablecoin, using Chainlink's Runtime Environment to pull reserve data from BitGo and store it on-chain continuously, replacing its previous monthly attestation reports. The system provides users with live visibility into USD1's total supply, reserve backing, and collateralization ratio, with open-source code available for independent review. The upgrade follows a reported coordinated attack on the project that temporarily caused USD1 to trade below its peg and compromised co-founder accounts. The move also comes amid broader regulatory scrutiny of World Liberty Financial's bank charter application, which has drawn questions from lawmakers including Senator Elizabeth Warren over the company's ties to President Donald Trump's family.
This opinion piece argues that the Trump administration launched military strikes against Iran without congressional deliberation, allied support, or imminent justification, with Trump publicly declaring regime change as his objective. The author contends that Iran's nuclear program was not an active threat and that negotiations were progressing at the time the strikes began. The piece warns that air strikes alone have historically failed to topple governments, and that Iran's Revolutionary Guards could fill any resulting power vacuum. The author also flags potential consequences including disruption to Strait of Hormuz shipping, retaliatory strikes, and Iran potentially accelerating its nuclear weapons development.
