U. S. Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the Secretary of Commerce on Thursday, requesting documents related to mining giant Bitmain to review potential "national security risks." She specifically requested clarification on communications between Bitmain, the Trump family, and the Department of Commerce, questioning whether national security decisions were being influenced by political interests. The report also mentioned that U.S. federal authorities had secretly investigated the risk of Bitmain mining machines being remotely controlled to disrupt the power grid. In addition, American Bitcoin, a company invested in by Trump's son Eric Trump, spent $314.00 million last year to acquire 16,000 Bitmain mining machines.
