  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

  • Coinbase Chief Legal Officer: US SEC blocks Coinbase’s request to disclose Gary Gensler’s communication documents

    Paul Grewal.eth, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, wrote on the X platform that the issues of Chevron and Binance's secondary sales have been clarified, but in Coinbase's lawsuit, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has prevented Coinbase from requesting the disclosure of Gary Gensler's communication documents. In March 2021, Gary Gensler told the U.S. Congress that the SEC lacked regulatory authority over digital asset exchanges, confirming the long-held belief among market participants that digital asset trading on these exchanges is not within the jurisdiction of securities law. Coinbase has requested that Gary Gensler provide documents related to these communications because they are related to how the SEC's enforcement actions violate the due process requirements of the Constitution, but the SEC and Gary Gensler are trying to prevent the disclosure of these documents.
