Clarity Act Stalls Over Ethics Dispute Ahead of Senate Vote

The Clarity Act is facing another setback in the Senate due to an ongoing ethics dispute over rules tied to President Donald Trump and his family.

Democratic lawmakers are demanding stronger ethics rules, including provisions that would limit potential profits from crypto assets involving the president and his family. However, Republican negotiators have yet to secure an agreement that satisfies both sides.

The disagreement has slowed months of negotiations and created fresh uncertainty around the legislation. Senate leaders face growing pressure to reach a compromise before the scheduled vote on September 15 at 2:15 PM ET, which requires 60 votes to overcome a Democratic filibuster and move the legislation forward.
