Senator releases blistering response to lawsuit threat from billionaire pardoned by Trump

A billionaire who was pardoned by Donald Trump sent a lawsuit threat to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who dropped a blistering reply through lawyers of her own.

Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire founder of crypto exchange Binance who recently received a pardon after months of boosting a crypto venture owned by President Donald Trump's family, reportedly asked Warren to retract a social media post about him. Specifically, the post claimed Zhao had pleaded guilty to a money laundering charge, which Warren says is objectively true.
