A former senior Justice Department official accused the Trump administration of illegally dismantling the Community Relations Service, the DOJ's only office dedicated to preventing hate crimes and community violence.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, sent a scathing letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi Thursday demanding answers after receiving the protected disclosure.

The whistleblower alleged CRS leaders formally warned top DOJ brass that reducing the agency from 57 employees to one violated the Civil Rights Act, Church Arson Prevention Act, and Hate Crimes Prevention Act. The official claimed Trump's DOJ deliberately omitted warning memos from court records, requiring a federal judge to compel their release. Even then, DOJ allegedly heavily redacted the documents.

The whistleblower further contended that CRS's claimed "restoration" is theatrical, with rehired employees barred from actual work. Raskin demanded a full briefing by March 27, calling the action "systematic and unlawful" sabotage.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
