Analysis

Patrick McHenry warned that Democrats regaining Congress will trigger broad oversight hearings targeting crypto executives over their links to President Trump. The blueprint from a progressive group tied to Sen. Warren names Brian Armstrong as a witness alongside Elon Musk, Alex Karp and Scott Bessent, with questions focused on Coinbase's White House ballroom donation and any resulting benefits. World Liberty FI faces separate scrutiny over Trump's financial ties, enforcement rollbacks and its Binance relationship. Sen. Blumenthal has already sent document requests to Armstrong, Brad Garlinghouse, Arjun Sethi, Chad Cascarilla and the Winklevoss twins on the same donations.
