PANews reported on October 22nd that, according to Fortune magazine, US Senate Democrats sent a letter to Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, on Wednesday, demanding more details about his personal cryptocurrency investments. The letter, led by Senator Adam Schiff and signed by eight senators, asked Witkoff to explain why his latest ethics disclosure documents show he still holds shares in cryptocurrencies associated with Trump and other cryptocurrency entities. The senators stated that this failure to divest raises questions about his compliance with federal ethics laws and his ability to prioritize the interests of the American people over personal financial gain. Steve Witkoff and World Liberty Financial stated in May that Witkoff was "fully divesting" his stake in the project. However, his latest ethics disclosure on August 13th revealed that he had divested $120 million worth of his stake in the real estate company but had not yet sold his cryptocurrency holdings. Senate Democrats claim that Witkoff's continued business interests in cryptocurrencies may raise a conflict of interest due to his role as a top diplomat in the Middle East, which allegedly overlaps with World Liberty Financial's business ties with the UAE. They have given Witkoff until October 31st to respond.PANews reported on October 22nd that, according to Fortune magazine, US Senate Democrats sent a letter to Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, on Wednesday, demanding more details about his personal cryptocurrency investments.

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
