U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has formally responded through her attorney to defamation allegations made by Binance founder CZ. Warren maintains that her statements regarding CZ's alleged "money laundering conviction" are "entirely true" and not made with malice, thus not constituting defamation. This response follows CZ's consideration of a defamation lawsuit against Warren after she claimed on social media that CZ was "convicted of money laundering" following a pardon issued by Trump. CZ disputes this, clarifying that in 2023 he only entered a plea agreement for violating the Bank Secrecy Act and was not charged with money laundering.
