Elizabeth Warren’s lawyer has refuted allegations of defamation against Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, stating that Senator Warren’s social media post regarding his pardon was accurate and did not contain false statements. The legal defense came after a threat by Zhao’s lawyer to sue for ‘defamatory statements,’ with Warren’s lawyer arguing that the post accurately reflects publicly available information on Zhao’s guilty plea for failing to comply with anti-money laundering laws. Zhao’s lawyer has requested a retraction of this post or legal action will be taken. Meanwhile, Senator Warren’s actions have ignited a debate regarding potential conflicts of interest related to her post and the President’s pardon decisions.
