WSJ reports include Binance comments
It also seems worth noting that Binance’s complaint claimed that the Journal made no changes to its report to include statements from the company; however, the report has clearly been edited.
For example, Binance’s lawsuit protests a subheading on the article that said, “Weeks after Trump pardoned Binance’s founder, the company dismantled [the] probe and suspended the investigators.” A current reading of that article, however, shows the subheading now includes a note that “Binance denied inquiry ended or staff fired for the concerns.” An archived version of the article suggests that an update was made on the day the article was published.
Additionally, a subsequent WSJ report, out today—confirming a Justice Department probe into Binance—includes many, if not all, of the statements that Binance accused the Journal of refusing to put on record.
For Binance, the lawsuit seems unlikely to stall government probes, particularly since critics like Blumenthal continue to closely monitor the exchange’s alleged attempts to influence the Trump administration.
