Dear Acting Director Greer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We write to request an urgent inquiry into a billion-dollar business deal involving the state-backed Emirati investment firm MGX, crypto exchange Binance, and World Liberty Financial (WLF) that is poised to enrich President Trump and his family, as well as the family of Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. The deal, if completed, would represent a staggering conflict of interest, one that may violate the Constitution and open our government to a startling degree of foreign influence and the potential for a quid pro quo that could endanger national security. The news comes as the Senate is getting ready to vote on the GENIUS Act \u2013 which contains no restrictions to bar elected officials and their families from owning, buying, selling, or otherwise participating in stablecoin business ventures or prevent foreign countries from currying favor with President Trump by using his stablecoin to funnel money to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports of the deal indicate that MGX plans to invest $2 billion in Binance using WLF\u2019s recently announced stablecoin, USD1. WLF is a cryptocurrency company backed by President Trump and his family. Mr. Witkoff, meanwhile, \u201chelped spearhead\u201d the launch of WLF, and his son, Zach Witkoff, co-founded the company. This arrangement means that WLF could be used as a backdoor for foreign kickbacks and bribes. By selecting USD1 to complete the MGX-Binance deal, MGX will likely indirectly pay the Trump and Witkoff families hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, World Liberty Financial will be able to reap returns on any investments it makes with the $2 billion deposit. The Trumps and Witkoffs, in essence, are receiving a cut of the deal between an entity of a foreign government, MGX, and a private entity, Binance, with significant business before the U.S. government. This creates the potential for significant conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The profiles of the companies involved in this deal \u2013 Binance and MGX \u2013 make the concerns about this gross abuse of the public trust even more alarming. Binance settled criminal charges with the Department of Justice in 2023 and agreed to pay a $4 billion penalty. Its founder went to prison and is now reportedly seeking a pardon from President Trump. MGX is an investment firm with close ties to the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The chairman of MGX is Sheik Tahnoun Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is the National Security Advisor of the UAE.  Tahnoun has been referred to as the \u201cSpy Sheik\u201d due to his covert dealings and central role in the UAE\u2019s intelligence and surveillance operations. Tahnoun is also the chairman of G42, a firm that the U.S. intelligence community warned has extensive ties to Chinese companies and the government. He is actively lobbying the U.S. government to expand the UAE\u2019s access to export-controlled chips for artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing of the deal and Tahnoun\u2019s involvement are particularly concerning. In the coming weeks, the President will make a decision on whether to relax export controls on advanced chips to the UAE. Tahnoun is personally invested in the outcome of that decision and recently met with the President to make his case. If the President agrees to do Tahnoun\u2019s bidding, the UAE stands to gain a strategic advantage in artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies that could erode U.S. leadership and empower Tahnoun\u2019s spying empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, a crypto firm whose founder needs a pardon and a foreign government spymaker coveting sensitive U.S. technology plan to pay the Trump and Witkoff families hundreds of millions of dollars. The opportunities for grift \u2013 in which the Trump Administration offers favors to the UAE or to Binance in exchange for their massive payouts \u2013 are mind-boggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reported deal also raises significant legal concerns. Because MGX is so closely associated with the UAE\u2019s government, payments made to WLF, which itself has connections to President Trump and his family, may violate the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The deal may also violate federal ethics statutes, including criminal provisions barring bribery. This deal raises the troubling prospect that the Trump and Witkoff families could expand the use of their stablecoin as an avenue to profit from foreign corruption. As Mr. Witkoff\u2019s son said while celebrating the announcement: \u201cIt\u2019s only the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We request answers to the following questions by May 9, 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Does the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) currently provide guidance to current federal officials, including presidents, regarding the use of their name, likeness, or official office for the purpose of personal financial gain through digital assets, including stablecoins, or any other personally branded products and services? Has the current President, his family, or any entities connected to him sought any such guidance?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. What mechanisms are currently in place to determine whether the President and senior government officials are involved in quid pro quo in violation of federal bribery statutes?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. What safeguards currently exist to prevent individuals under federal investigation, foreign actors, or those seeking pardons from making an investment in the President\u2019s financial interests and entities in order to gain political influence?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Which, if any, OGE ethics rules prohibit presidents from issuing a payment stablecoin product or trading stablecoins for profit during their time in public service?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Has the designated official at the State Department vetted Mr. Witkoff\u2019s involvement in the MGX-Binance deal? If so, what guidance have they provided? Please provide all records and correspondence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Given the urgent ethics and national security implications of the reported deal, please respond no later than May 9, 2025. We appreciate your attention to these important issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
