Senator Elizabeth Warren has rejected defamation accusations from the legal team of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, following her post about the former crypto exchange CEO’s presidential pardon by Donald Trump.

Zhao’s attorney, Teresa Goody Guillén, demanded that Warren delete her post on social network X (formerly Twitter), where the senator accused Zhao of money laundering.

According to the New York Post, Guillén threatened to file a lawsuit for defamatory statements damaging Zhao’s reputation.

In the controversial October 23 post, Warren wrote that Zhao had “pleaded guilty to criminal charges of money laundering and was sentenced to prison.”

She also added that he had “funded President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon.”
