US senator probes Tether after reported deal with ex-Trump crypto adviser

The Democratic ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations asked Paolo Ardoino for records related to a reported deal between Tether and Nxum.

Update (Oct. 23, 6:27 pm UTC): This article has been updated to include a response from Tether.
