Mike Johnson denies request for Jesse Jackson to lie in state at the Capitol
House Speaker Mike Johnson refused a request for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol, sources revealed.
Sources familiar with the matter told CNN that Johnson rejected the request, which was made on behalf of Jackson's family, by citing recent past precedent for right-wing activist Charlie Kirk and former Vice President Dick Cheney.
The 84-year-old civil rights icon and two-time Democratic presidential candidate died this week, and his family announced that Jackson will lie in repose at Rainbow PUSH headquarters in Chicago, with funeral services n his home state of South Carolina and in Washington, D.C.
One of the sources told CNN that the decision was keeping with precedent and not political, saying that general practice for lying in honor in the Capitol Rotunda is reserved for presidents, select military officials and select government officials.
The last person to be honored by lying in state was former President Jimmy Carter in January of 2025.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny
The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government.

Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story.

This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
