U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Jeanine Pirro faced backlash after trying to walk back her remarks, which vowed to prosecute gun crimes in Washington, D.C.

In an interview on Fox News this week, Pirro insisted that anyone who brought a gun into the district should "count on going to jail."

"I don't care if you have a license in another district, and I don't care if you're a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else," she told Fox News.

On Tuesday, Pirro posted on X to try to blunt criticism of her remarks.

"Let me be clear: I am a proud supporter of the Second Amendment," the U.S. Attorney insisted. "Washington, D.C. law requires handguns be licensed in the District with the Metropolitan Police Department to be carried into our community."

"We are focused on individuals who are unlawfully carrying guns and will continue building on that momentum to keep our communities safe," she added.

Her comments, however, did not seem to soothe critics.

"This is not being clear. You said what you said," Patrick Jaicomo wrote.

"This is not what you said. You told us to mark your words, and we did," Hannah Hill insisted.

"Let me be clear, that law is a violation of our rights and you of all people should be fighting against it," a commenter from Texas complained.

"You are not pro 2A if you require a license," Tyler McFarland quipped.

Coinbase Urges Treasury to Clarify GENIUS Act Implementation

The post Coinbase Urges Treasury to Clarify GENIUS Act Implementation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has called on the U.S. Treasury Department to provide clearer guidance on the implementation of the GENIUS Act, warning that excessive regulation could undermine innovation and weaken the country’s position as a global leader in digital finance. Source: Coinbase In an official statement, Coinbase’s Director of Policy, Faryar Shirzad, said that new rules should “ensure the competitiveness of U.S. stablecoins and create conditions for their global adoption as a payment instrument.” The exchange cautioned the Treasury against introducing restrictions not explicitly outlined in the law, urging policymakers to focus on innovation rather than limitation. Coinbase’s Recommendations for the GENIUS Framework In its response, Coinbase proposed several key adjustments to the regulatory framework. It suggested that non-financial software developers, blockchain validators, and open protocols be excluded from GENIUS compliance requirements. The company also argued that the ban on interest payments should apply only to stablecoin issuers, not to exchanges or intermediaries offering bonus programs or loyalty rewards. Coinbase emphasized that rewards from third parties should not be considered a violation, warning that a broad definition of “interest” could distort the intent of the legislation. The firm additionally proposed that payment stablecoins be treated as cash equivalents for accounting and tax purposes — a move it said would “reflect their real-world use as stable digital currencies.” The GENIUS Act and Its Impact Signed into law in July 2025, the GENIUS Act marked the first comprehensive federal regulation of the U.S. stablecoin market. The law requires that all stablecoins be fully backed by liquid assets, mandates annual audits for issuers, and sets rules for foreign-issued tokens operating in the U.S. market. Coinbase urged regulators to uphold Congress’s original intent, emphasizing that effective policy should allow innovation to grow within the framework of the law, not in defiance of it. Not all lawmakers…
