Trump Meets with Advisers on CLARITY Act Ethics Ahead of Senate Vote
President Trump met with his advisers on Friday to discuss ethics language for the CLARITY Act, which is set to be voted on in the Senate on Tuesday. The meeting was held behind closed doors, and it's unclear what specific changes were proposed or agreed upon. However, Senate Democrats have been pushing for provisions that would restrict Trump's ability to profit from his family's crypto businesses.
The CLARITY Act aims to increase transparency in cryptocurrency transactions and provide clearer guidelines for regulators. The inclusion of ethics provisions would be a significant development in the ongoing debate around presidential conflicts of interest. Patrick Witt, one of Trump's top crypto advisers, took to social media on Saturday to express his optimism about the bill's prospects.
'Bad day to be a Clarity Act doomer,' Witt tweeted.
