They also wanted to know whether the department had discussed a pardon for <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Binance\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> co-founder <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Changpeng<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Zhao. The DOJ responded, but Warren says the answers were vague and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">didn\u2019t<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> actually confirm whether Binance is following the rules. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">She\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> now pressing for a more direct response.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Binance?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#Binance<\/a> Cutting Deals with Team Trump?

That monitor was supposed to be in place for several years. Warren is worried that the DOJ might be considering removing or scaling back that monitor, and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">she\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> not happy about the idea. In her view, the monitor plays a critical role in holding Binance accountable, and if that role is cut short, she wants to know why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Concerns About Political Ties<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Warren is also raising concerns about connections between Binance and companies linked to the Trump family.

She says the DOJ failed to give a clear update on whether Binance is meeting the terms of its settlement. It also <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">didn\u2019t<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> provide any solid answers about the potential pardon or political contact. Warren and her fellow senators called the response disappointing and are now asking for a proper follow-up <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">by October 1<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-crypto-to-explode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why This Matters<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This situation is about more than just Binance. Warren believes that the way the DOJ handles this case could set a tone for how crypto companies <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are treated<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> when they break the rules. If a firm as large as Binance gets away with light oversight or backroom deals, it could damage trust in how the system works. Warren says the public needs to know whether justice is <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">being applied<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> fairly, especially when billions of dollars and regulatory credibility are on the line.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Happens Next<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The ball is now in the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DOJ\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> court. If they respond with more clarity, it might ease concerns. If they stay silent or vague, the pressure will likely grow. Other lawmakers may join Warren in pushing for answers, and depending on what surfaces, this could turn into a much larger debate about crypto regulation, political influence, and accountability in Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DISCOVER:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-crypto-to-explode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways\">\n<h2 class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list\">\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding clear answers from the DOJ about Binance\u2019s $4.3 billion settlement and ongoing compliance.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Warren says the DOJ has avoided confirming whether Binance is sticking to the terms of the deal or if a pardon for CZ was ever discussed.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        She\u2019s also raising concerns about political ties between Binance and companies linked to the Trump family, including World Liberty Financial.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        The DOJ has responded to previous letters, but Warren and two other senators say the answers were vague and failed to address core questions.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Warren argues the outcome of this case could affect how crypto enforcement is handled going forward, and how much influence politics has in regulation.    <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/elizabeth-warren-presses-doj-on-binance-and-trump-ties\/\">Warren Wants Answers From DOJ on Binance Deal<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Elizabeth Warren is turning up the heat on the Department of Justice.
