COINOTAG News, citing Politico, reports that in February this year Binance and founder Changpeng Zhao engaged crypto attorney Teresa Goody Guillén, a figure once floated by former President Trump as a potential SEC Chairman nominee. Her firm has billed approximately $290,000 to both parties so far this year.
Separately, CZ enlisted Trump-aligned lobbyist Ches McDowell to advocate with the White House and the Treasury Department, with September payments totaling $450,000, reflecting intensified outreach aimed at shaping regulatory dialogue.
The disclosures underscore ongoing engagement between major crypto platforms and policymakers, underscoring the role of established counsel in navigating evolving crypto regulation and maintaining transparent interactions with authorities.
