[White House Envoy Whitaker Faces Conflict of Interest Over Unresolved Crypto Assets] The White House stated that envoy Whitaker has yet to divest his cryptocurrency assets, including shares linked to the Trump family, which could lead to a conflict of interest. Currently, he has completed financial disclosures and is working with ethics officials and legal advisors to ensure compliance with government regulations and to divest the relevant assets. If disputes arise over whether the assets constitute a conflict of interest, Whitaker could face legal risks, particularly when participating in matters related to his financial interests, potentially violating the Criminal Conflict of Interest Statute.
