House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has called on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to open a full-blown federal investigation into Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) and to scrutinize New York Attorney General Letitia James’ complicity in a billion-dollar terrorist financing scandal.
House Republican Chairwoman Elise Stefanik’s urgent letter to Bondi comes on the heels of a bombshell Gateway Pundit report into the Standard Chartered Bank sanctions evasion case, now before the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
That case uncovered at least $9.6 billion in illegal payments by the bank to Iranian and Hezbollah entities—payments that directly violate U.S. Treasury sanctions and undermine national security.
These transactions were allegedly concealed from mandatory disclosures under a deferred prosecution agreement overseen by the Southern District of New York and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Washington, D.C.
Even more disturbing, the case implicates New York Attorney General Letitia James and the Federal Reserve for ignoring these billions in illicit transactions and failing to enforce sanctions already designated by the Treasury Department.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported:
At least $9.6 billion of specifically identified illicit payments were made by SCB from its NYC branch to OFAC and known terrorist names. The $9.6 billion was found in internal trade reports turned over by bank whistleblowers and represents the first batch from SCB Dubai office that cleared through SCB NYC. There are estimated over $100 billion more of illegal payments that are more recent and from SCB China where it has 53 mainland branches that facilitate dollar trade payments for oil and war-making materials.
These payments were hidden by SCB from required disclosure in its ongoing Deferred Prosecution Agreement now under the jurisdiction of DCUSA Pirro and SDNY Clayton where both were briefed on SCB after their appointments. There are career blockers at each jurisdiction.

Yawn....Bondi is an empty suit. All talk, all the time. James should already be in the slammer for mortgage fraud, not the subject of yet another meaningless investigation.
Either pull the trigger or step aside...
“Yawn....Bondi is an empty suit. All talk, all the time.”
Agreed. But, she looks good, and talks really forcefully, that must be inspiring to some?
The AG marches at the command of POTUS.
Separation of powers...
Congress can P&M all they want.
Congress can demand anything of the DOJ but the AG moves at the command of POTUS.
Current stats:
Investigations - dozens
Indictments - 0
This appears to be the “Blondi sucks” thread. There should be a separate section for the NeverTrumpers so they don’t pollute the good topics.
This will be huge because Standard Chartered funds a NASCAR and an MLB team, along with their Premier League team for a Massachusetts company.
So many people here don’t understand the legal process. Additionally, they are clueless to how many cases/problems the DOJ and other departments have on their plates already.
Another Bondi hating idiot
You guys are so tiresome
WTF do you think the Grand Jurys are doing?
At last, a voice of reason.
This DOJ has been confronted with more scandals from the previous admin. than any in history.
How can these small minds expect convictions so early in the process? Instant gratification is not a legal strategy.
You sound like a “Hangin’ Judge”..no need for trial, just “Hang Em’ High”...
Tiresome, ain’t it? Does anyone know how hard it is to prosecute in Washington D.C., with corrupt Judges, and corrupt jurors? You better have all your ducks in a row before you start the hammer down.

seems that the 9BB was just fraction of the total transfers.
glad to see judge jeannine on the case.
PS: was the money being funded by USAID? or some other NGO type structure
They could not "pollute" the threads by going back to sleep.
