According to BlockBeats, U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna has filed criminal charges with the Department of Justice against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, alleging perjury. Luna claims that Powell made false statements during his testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on June 25, 2025, regarding the renovation of the Federal Reserve's Eccles Building.
In her letter, Luna stated that Powell's testimony included several significant falsehoods. She further alleged that Powell, in a letter to Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, downplayed the increase in the project's cost from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion as insignificant. However, documents reviewed by congressional investigators suggest that the project's scope and cost overruns are substantial and not trivial.
Perjury charges can result in fines and a maximum prison sentence of five years.#USRepresentative #AnnaPaulinaLuna #FederalReserve #JeromePowell #Perjury #DepartmentOfJustice #SenateCommittee #EcclesBuilding #CostOverruns #Congress

According to Odaily, the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee has postponed the advancement of a bill aimed at easing regulations on cryptocurrency mining due to internal disagreements. Several senators noted a significant increase in public feedback since the last discussion. The committee failed to reach a consensus in two rounds of voting, ultimately deciding by a 4-2 vote to refer the bill for 'interim study' for further examination. The proposed legislation, House Bill 639, seeks to prohibit local governments from imposing additional restrictions on crypto mining activities, such as electricity or noise limits, and to prevent state or local governments from levying special taxes on digital assets.#NewHampshire #SenateCommittee #CryptocurrencyMining #BillDelay #CryptoRegulations #PublicFeedback #CryptoLegislation #HouseBill639 #DigitalAssets

However, he is open to delaying the vote depending on the outcome of discussions with the Democratic lead negotiator, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey.

The CLARITY Act, designed to provide clear regulations for digital assets, is currently facing delays due to disagreements over stablecoin yield restrictions. According to NS3.AI, banks are advocating for stricter limits, expressing concerns that yield-bearing stablecoins could function similarly to unregulated deposits. In contrast, cryptocurrency companies argue that such restrictions could stifle innovation within the industry. Despite efforts by the White House to mediate a resolution before March, the bill remains stalled in a Senate committee without any agreement reached.#DigitalAssetRegulation #CLARITYAct #StablecoinYield #Stablecoin #Cryptocurrency #BankingRegulations #Innovation #WhiteHouse #SenateCommittee #Legislation
