US Democratic lawmakers urged the SEC to explain the reasons for suspending the enforcement case against Justin Sun.

Three Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins, requesting an explanation regarding the SEC's suspension of enforcement proceedings against TRON founder Justin Sun. Representatives Maxine Waters, Brad Sherman, and Sean Casten stated that the prolonged delay in the case could undermine investor confidence in the regulator's independence and credibility. The letter noted that the SEC has recently initiated or is pursuing suspensions or withdrawals of several crypto-related enforcement cases, including those involving Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, and questioned the focus and effectiveness of its enforcement efforts. Regarding the Sun case, the SEC requested a court stay of proceedings in February to explore potential solutions, a process that has lasted approximately 11 months. The representatives also mentioned Sun's token transactions with World Liberty Financial, requesting the SEC to retain and provide all documents and communications related to the suspension of the case. The SEC has not yet publicly responded to these inquiries. (Cointelegraph)
