Trump Meets with Advisers on CLARITY Act Ahead of Senate Vote
President Trump met with his advisers on Friday to discuss the ethics language in the CLARITY Act, a bill set for a critical Senate procedural vote on Tuesday. This meeting comes as Senate Democrats have been pushing for provisions that would restrict Trump's ability to profit from his family's crypto businesses. According to two people familiar with the closed-door talks, it remains unclear what came out of the meeting or who attended.
The CLARITY Act aims to clarify the rules and regulations surrounding cryptocurrency and digital assets. Senate Democrats want to include ethics provisions that would restrict Trump's ability to profit from his family's crypto businesses. Top Trump crypto adviser Patrick Witt took to social media on Saturday, writing 'Bad day to be a Clarity Act doomer.'
The meeting is seen as a last-minute effort by the White House to address concerns about the bill before the Senate vote on Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether these efforts will be enough to sway undecided senators and pass the bill.
