Circle shareholder sues Trump and World Liberty Financial over UAE deals

  • —Suit filed in US federal court names Trump, World Liberty Financial and envoy Steve Witkoff
  • —Plaintiff says a 49% WLF stake was sold for $500 million with UAE-linked funds
  • —A UAE government fund bought $2 billion of the Trump family's digital tokens
  • —Plaintiff seeks disgorgement of the proceeds and disclosure of other foreign crypto payments
Why it matters: The case tests whether the Constitution's foreign emoluments ban reaches a sitting president's crypto holdings and family token deals.
