An ethics watchdog, the Campaign Legal Center, has since filed a formal complaint urging the DOJ’s inspector general to investigate whether Blanche’s actions violated federal conflict‑of‑interest rules, noting that he had signed an agreement promising to divest his crypto and refrain from participating in related matters until doing so.
