    CT Senator Chris Murphy Exposes Trump Parson Scheme

    Senator Murphy reveals that Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who created the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

    A PBS News article explains Zhao served prison time because criminals used his exchange platform to move money connected to child sex and drug trafficking as well as terrorism. Then Zhao asked Trump for a pardon to undo his conviction.

    Trump now wants to purchase a stake in Binance to be funded by the Trump family’s crypto company World Liberty Financial (which made him $57 million last year).

    Governor Lamont Signs Bill to Allow CT Residents to Sue ICE

    CT Democrats fully supported a new law signed by the Governor limiting ICE agents actions as follows:

    • Disallows roundups at schools, churches and other sensitive places,
    • requires ICE federal agents be identifiable by name tag or badge number,
    • and gives the state’s inspector general jurisdiction to review use of lethal force by ICE, as he does with local police.

    Lieutenant Governor Bysiewicz explained that the bill is meant to reinforce transparency and accountability among all areas of public enforcement.
