Another Trump scandal
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/01/spy-sheikh-stake-trump-crypto.htmlUnited Arab Emirates’ ‘Spy Sheikh’ bought secret stake in Trump crypto company: WSJ
PUBLISHED SUN, FEB 1 20262:45 PM ESTUPDATED SUN, FEB 1 20263:36 PM EST
Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates purchased a secret 49% stake in the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial, The Wall Street Journal reported late Saturday.
Tahnoon, known as the “Spy Sheikh,” is a UAE royal and government official who serves as the country’s national security adviser and manages its largest wealth fund.
World Liberty counts President Donald Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff as co-founders emeritus, and is run by members of the Trump and Witkoff families.
Months after Tahnoon purchased the $500 million stake, the U.S. agreed to give the UAE access to 500,000 of America’s most advanced AI chips per year.
