Warren attacks Clarity Act ethics provision ahead of Senate vote
Sen. Elizabeth Warren plans a Monday night speech sharply criticizing the Clarity Act and its newly added ethics provision ahead of a Senate preliminary vote Tuesday that needs 60 votes to advance. Warren says the provision, which Republicans updated and which President Donald Trump has blessed, is a "weak fig leaf" that could be unenforceable against Trump and contains loopholes allowing him to profit from crypto businesses such as World Liberty Financial and a newly acquired bank charter. GOP leaders say the bill would lay out rules for the crypto industry and added state attorney general enforcement language.
