Jury deliberations continue in the trial of Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, in the Southern District of New York. During the process, the jury has requested additional testimonies from FBI tracing expert Joseph DeCapua and KYC/AML witness Philip Werlau. Meanwhile, in related legal developments, Bruce Morris was sentenced to 27 years in prison, and a separate libel case involving Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch has seen a postponement of Murdoch's deposition until after the Wall Street Journal's motion to dismiss is filed. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has also requested an extension until August 8 to decide whether to unseal grand jury exhibits related to the Epstein and Maxwell cases. This comes amid ongoing controversy over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files, with reports that the DOJ and FBI have allegedly misused FOIA exemptions to withhold Trump's name in over 100,000 pages of Epstein-related documents. Epstein victims have expressed distress over the management of these files, and Judge Berman, who presided over Epstein's prosecution, has begun posting letters from alleged victims claiming they are being revictimized by the Trump administration's handling of the documents. The broader call for transparency and justice includes demands for the full release of the files and prosecution of all implicated parties, regardless of political affiliation.
