DescriptionSenate Democrats — including Senators Warren, Blumenthal, Peters, Wyden, and Durbin — have called for CFIUS review of the $500M UAE acquisition of 49% of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) via advisory letters to Treasury Secretary Bessent (Feb 2026) and escalating public demands (June 2026). Rep. Ro Khanna separately referred a Delaware LLC tied to the deal to the U.S. Attorney in Delaware. This event resolves YES if, on or before July 31, 2026 UTC, one or more Senate committee members publicly release a written document meeting ALL three criteria: (1) addressed to the CFIUS Chair (Treasury Secretary) or the U.S. Attorney General; (2) explicitly invokes 50 U.S.C. §4565 (CFIUS statute) or uses 'formal referral,' 'petition for CFIUS review,' or 'DOJ referral'; (3) characterized as a formal referral in the senator's own official .gov press release. Resolves NO if no qualifying document is publicly filed by July 31, 2026 UTC. Exclusions: Prior Warren-Bessent advisory letters and June 2026 hearing demand letters do NOT qualify. Rep. Khanna's referral does NOT qualify (House member). Source Hierarchy: Official Senate .gov press releases first; Reuters, Politico, AP second.
