    1. Aides? What about his sons. From the article:

      Last year, Mr. Witkoff and his sons, along with Mr. Trump’s sons, founded World Liberty Financial, a crypto company. Mr.
      Witkoff, a real estate lawyer and investor, announced plans after he was appointed by Mr. Trump to sell his stake in his real estate company and other ventures, turning over much of his corporate holdings to his sons.
      Mr. Warrington, the White House counsel, in his statement to The Times on Wednesday, said that Mr. Witkoff is „taking all the legal steps necessary to divest,“ from those holdings, meaning he still has a financial interest in World Liberty.

      That means he still was in a position to benefit financially when World Liberty struck the $2 billion deal with the Emiratis.
      A financial disclosure report Mr. Witkoff signed last month that also listed these holdings did not detail how much Mr.
      Witkoff’s holdings are worth. But statements by World Liberty suggest that the Witkoff family has been allocated 3.75 billion of the company’s $WLFI tokens, which at the current trading price would be worth nearly $800 million.

      My favorite part:

      **There is little that congressional Democrats can do to force the inspectors general to start an investigation**.But lawmakers can still take symbolic steps targeting Mr. Trump and his allies over their ties to the crypto and A.I. industries.
      „In the history of our country’s foreign policy, one is hard-pressed to find two senior officials with such significant conflicts of interest involved in decisions regarding national security,“ Ms. Warren and Ms.
      Slotkin wrote in their letter to the inspectors general. „Such unbridled conflicts of interest have no place in the U.S. government.“
