The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) confirmed that the application by World Liberty Financial for a national trust bank charter will face rigorous scrutiny under current regulations. This follows U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's call to pause the review due to concerns about the project's potential to create billions in 'paper wealth' for former President Donald Trump and his family. OCC Chief Counsel reiterated that the application will be evaluated thoroughly and fairly like any other.
