U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has called for a congressional hearing regarding the $500 million acquisition of WLFI shares by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan. According to Foresight News, the transaction was signed by Eric Trump, with $187 million directly benefiting Trump family entities and at least $31 million going to entities linked to Trump ally Steve Witkoff.
Warren described the situation as "pure corruption" and urged the Trump administration to reverse its decision to sell sensitive AI chips to the UAE. She emphasized the need for Steve Witkoff, David Sacks, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and other Trump administration officials to testify before Congress about the growing evidence that they compromised U.S. national security for the benefit of the president's crypto company.
