The Democratic investigators of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs released a report accusing USDT of becoming an important financial conduit for Iran's shadow banking system, and called for the Treasury Department and the Justice Department to investigate whether Tether violated sanctions and banking laws. The report mentioned Tether's relationship with the Trump administration, including business dealings between Tether and Cantor Fitzgerald, controlled by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's family, as well as Bo Hines, the former head of the White House Cryptocurrency Committee, serving as Tether's head of U.S. operations.This report continues the Democratic investigation into the Trump family's cryptocurrency business. In May 2025, Richard Blumenthal launched an investigation into TRUMP, the token holders' dinner, and World Liberty Financial; in June, Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley demanded explanations from MGX and Binance on why they used the Trump family-affiliated stablecoin USD1 to settle a $2 billion investment. In November, the Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee released a report accusing the Trump family of profiting from cryptocurrency businesses such as WLFI and TRUMP, describing regulatory rollbacks, termination of enforcement, and pardons for related individuals as a form of benefit transfer, claiming their cryptocurrency assets were valued at up to $11.6 billion, with related revenues exceeding $800 million in the first half of 2025.In 2026, Ro Khanna investigated reports that members of the UAE royal family spent $500 million to acquire a 49% stake in WLFI, and whether this transaction was related to U.S. policies on AI chips in the UAE;

According to a report by Reuters, if the Democrats gain control of the House of Representatives or the Senate after the midterm elections in November, they are expected to launch investigations into business dealings related to Trump and his family, focusing on the cryptocurrency, prediction markets, and investment businesses involving the Trump family, as well as companies that funded projects for the White House.The report states that controlling either chamber of Congress will give the Democrats more resources for committee investigations and subpoena power, with some investigations potentially starting as early as February next year. The subjects of investigation frequently mentioned by Democratic lawmakers include the venture capital firm 1789 Capital, in which Donald Trump Jr. is involved, as well as cryptocurrency companies related to the Trump family, but a final list of investigations has not yet been established.Additionally, Republican Senator John Curtis has previously called for an investigation into some of Donald Trump Jr.'s business relationships, believing that the commercial activities of the presidential family should be subject to consistent congressional oversight.

A survey by the Democratic Party of the U.S. Senate claims that the stablecoin USDT issued by Tether has become a major payment method for Iran.
