Senator Blumenthal sets January 4 deadline for Binance and Tether records

The Connecticut Democrat also targeted World Liberty Financial and the TRUMP memecoin's backer, with subpoenas floated if firms don't comply Senator Richard Blumenthal has given Binance and Tether a date to circle on the calendar: January 4, 2027. That is when the Connecticut Democrat expects the two crypto heavyweights to hand over outstanding documents tied to alleged illicit use of their platforms. The deadline lands just after the new Congress convenes. Blumenthal announced the letters on November 5, 2026. Two days earlier, Democrats posted gains in the November 3 midterms.
