‍Senate Resolution Condemns Trump's Pardon of Binance Founder CZ A proposed Senate resolution aims to condemn former President Trump's pardon of Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao. Spearheaded by Senators Warren and Schiff, the resolution highlights Binance's past failures in anti-money laundering (AML) and alleged conflicts of interest with the Trump family's crypto dealings. Concerns stem from Zhao's guilty plea to violating U.S. AML laws, with Binance failing to prevent illicit transactions linked to terrorist organizations. The pardon also faces scrutiny due to an "intertwined business relationship" between Zhao and the Trump family, involving a $2 billion investment facilitated through World Liberty Financial, a platform where the Trump family holds significant investments. While the resolution is largely seen as a symbolic gesture due to likely Republican opposition, it underscores ongoing debates on regulatory oversight in the digital asset market.
