New York Attorney General Letitia James issued Trump a warning Friday that she would “not be deterred” or “distracted” after leaving a federal courtroom and pleading not guilty to charges of bank fraud, charges that critics say were politically motivated due to James’ previous spat with President Donald Trump.James is charged with fraud relating to allegations that she misrepresented her income and assets on a loan document, with the Trump administration launching its criminal probe into James back in May. James previously prosecuted Trump for fraud in 2022, winning a $454 million judgement over allegations that Trump and his real estate company had inflated the value of its assets to receive more favorable loan agreements.Leaving the courtroom in New York City Friday, James was met with cheers by dozens who had gathered to voice their support for her.Speaking to her supporters, an animated James fired off at the Trump administration for using the Justice Department as “a vehicle of retribution,” and declared that her prosecution would not push her to silence.“There’s no fear today, no fear! No fear!” James shouted. “No fear, because I believe that justice will rain down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream! And I’m here to say that my work, my job and all that I do, I’ve stood up for the rights of New Yorkers and Americans and I will not be deterred! I will not, will not be deterred!”The Trump administration’s targeting of James has drawn further scrutiny for a high-ranking DOJ official posting a photo of themselves standing outside her New York home in August, posting the image on social media with a threatening message, and before she was indicted on fraud charges.

The remaining “10%” of issues center mainly on DeFi, which Brian Armstrong says lawmakers are addressing carefully to preserve innovation. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says he’s optimistic that US senators are moving closer to advancing key cryptocurrency market structure legislation by Thanksgiving, suggesting that there’s now far more agreement on both sides of the aisle than there are differences.“Even though the government is shut down, the Senate is working hard on getting market structure legislation passed for crypto,” Armstrong said in a video posted on X. According to Armstrong, roughly 90% of the legislative framework has already been agreed upon, with the remaining 10% focused on issues like decentralized finance (DeFi). He added that policymakers are looking for ways to protect innovation while ensuring that “centralized intermediaries, like Coinbase, should be regulated not the protocols.”Read more.
