Greg Stanton Asks Marco Rubio If Special Envoy Witkoff Has An 'Unacceptable Conflict Of Interest'

Published | Video Starts at 00:43

Let me start with Mr. Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to the Middle East. He co founded the cryptocurrency venture firm World Liberty Financial alongside President Trump and President Trump's children. Days before President Trump's inauguration, a firm controlled by a member of the royal family of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Taknu, bought a 49% stake in [World Liberty Financial]. That was a 5,500 million dollars investment. 31 million of that went straight to the Witkoff family. Witkoff was still a financial stakeholder in World Liberty as he was simultaneously leading high level US Government negotiations in his role as special envoy. (00:43–00:59)
