According to the New York Times, two Democratic U.S. senators have asked the inspector general of the Commerce and State Departments to investigate whether Trump administration officials violated ethics rules in two multibillion-dollar transactions involving the United Arab Emirates.
One deal involves a US plan to allow the UAE to import US-made artificial intelligence design chips. The other involves a company backed by the UAE government sending $2 billion to a cryptocurrency company created by the Trump family and Steve Witkoff, one of its advisers. Witkoff officially served as a State Department employee in the first six months of this year before moving to the White House.
"The pattern of these transactions is of great concern," Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, and Elissa Slotkin, Democrat of Michigan, wrote in a letter to the acting inspector general of the State and Commerce Departments and the Office of Government Ethics.
