Trump’s lawyer could be a godsend for Jack Smith’s obstruction case

  • February 20, 2023
Ripple XRP SEC Case: Although attorney John Deaton believes there is a high chance of the XRP SEC case going to a jury trial, he said there was also a likelihood of XRP winning the lawsuit with a fine. Currently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple are awaiting the summary judgment by the court.
