The U.S. Department of Justice has disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, shifting its focus away from prosecuting crypto exchanges for regulatory violations toward criminal activities involving digital assets. This decision aligns with President Trump's executive order aimed at providing regulatory clarity for the crypto industry, marking a significant change in the DOJ's approach to digital asset enforcement.

President Trump was informed by Attorney General Pam Bondi that his name appeared multiple times in Department of Justice documents regarding Jeffrey Epstein. This meeting occurred shortly before the DOJ announced it would not release the Epstein files to the public, despite previous assurances, leading Trump to request the unsealing of grand jury transcripts related to the case.
