Senate Democrats Hold Last-Minute Meeting on CLARITY Act Ahead of Key Vote
Senate Democrats are set to meet on Sunday evening to discuss the CLARITY Act ahead of Tuesday's key procedural vote. The bill, which has been months in the making, is still riddled with unresolved issues, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.
About a dozen Democrats have been working on the bill, but no consensus has been reached on several key points. One major sticking point is an ethics provision that would limit President Trump's ability to profit from his family's crypto ventures. This issue has been discussed by Trump himself in recent days with his advisers.
Republicans are urging Democrats to move forward with the bill and negotiate further once it reaches the floor. The Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, is convening the Democratic caucus meeting on Sunday night to try and iron out these differences before Tuesday's vote.
