Democrats Call for Investigation Into Possible Stock Trades Tied to Tariff Move
Democrats in Congress on Thursday called for investigations into whether people close to the Trump administration profited by using non-public information to make trades in the hours before President Trump’s tariff policy change.

Democratic Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Ruben Gallego of Arizona called for the U.S. Office of Government Ethics to investigate which, if any, White House officials and Trump family members were aware of Trump’s plan to delay tariffs and whether they used that information to trade stocks. “The sequence of events raises grave legal and ethics concerns,” they said. Some House Democrats said they wanted similar disclosures from federal lawmakers. Congress passed a law in 2012 prohibiting members of Congress and their staff from using nonpublic information to trade stocks. Asked for comment on the Democrats’ calls for probes, a White House spokesman said that Democrats are “playing partisan games instead of celebrating President Trump’s decisive action yesterday to finally corner China.”

Donald Trump's administration is making very good money

The administration under a Republican will always have these accusations from the Democrats and administration under the Democrats will have accusations from the Republicans. I am not arguing that these accusations are fake news, however, I am only arguing that these politicians in different parties are not friends.

The Senators called Blanche’s directive that DOJ staff no longer pursue cases against crypto exchanges, mixers or offline wallets “for the acts of their end users” or bring criminal charges for regulatory violations in cases involving crypto, including violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), “nonsensical.”

This sounds really interesting. Does it mean what I think it means? Mixers may do a 360 and come back? It would be a really curious change, one I would then be very fond of. I blamed the current administration for many things but I am all for any thing that promotes privacy again.

We cannot be certain what might be the future of mixers, also this does not promote privacy, I reckon. However, this promotes the correct method of regulating the cryptospace. The government cannot imprison and crackdown on developers who did not do a crime.

@Saint-loup. I very much agree because coins are coins. This should not affect you if the coins from the hack on Bybit was sent to your wallet. This type of argument might create a bad precent to trace the crime to Vitalik for creating Ethereum heheheheheh.
