Warren's Legal Team Rejects Zhao's Defamation Threat Over Money Laundering Statement

Senator Elizabeth Warren's attorneys have rejected a defamation threat from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao regarding her characterization of his guilty plea. The legal team argues Warren's statement that Zhao pleaded guilty to money laundering and was sentenced to prison is factually accurate and supported by Department of Justice records and court filings. Zhao's counsel claims the senator misrepresented the nature of his plea, contending he accepted responsibility for compliance failures rather than personally laundering money.
