CFTC Nominee Brian Quintenz Publicly Shares Texts with Tyler Winklevoss

CFTC Chair Nominee Brian Quintenz's Public Dispute

Brian Quintenz, nominee for CFTC Chair, publicly shared messages with Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, to address his stalled nomination.
The Senate Agriculture Committee delayed votes on Quintenz's nomination after lobbying efforts reportedly led by Winklevoss.
Quintenz posted the messages claiming President Trump might have been misled regarding his stance on Gemini's litigation with the CFTC.
Messages reveal discussions about Gemini's complaint with the CFTC’s Inspector General and suggest potential influence attempts by Winklevoss.
Quintenz expressed reluctance to comment on ongoing CFTC matters without being fully confirmed as Chair.
The timing and implications of these public disclosures highlight tensions in the confirmation process.

No hearings or votes are scheduled for the upcoming week concerning Quintenz's nomination.
