Dem senator calls GOP’s CLARITY ethics proposal a ‘piece of shit’: Politico
Summary
Senator Ruben Gallego said he will work with Republicans on a counterproposal to the CLARITY Act’s ethics provisions after Senate Republicans released draft language he called “not a serious effort.” The proposed text would bar all US federal officials, including President Trump, from issuing or sponsoring digital assets, but Democrats say it is inadequate. Gallego said months of bipartisan work were not reflected in the draft and that he plans to work with Senator Thom Tillis and others to send back revised language. Republicans defended the proposal, with Senator Bernie Moreno calling it the strongest ethics language in US history.
