Top Democratic lawmakers have requested the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) preserve records related to former President Donald Trump’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial. The lawmakers are probing potential conflicts of interest involving the Trump family’s financial ties to the project. While Republicans control both chambers of Congress, limiting formal investigations, Democrats are seeking information on how the Trump family’s involvement might influence SEC decisions. The SEC has not commented, and key figures named in the letter have also remained silent. — new from Reuters
