Svmuu News: Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on X stating that Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks has told her that the White House’s proposal to have the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforce the ethics provisions of the Clarity Act is an “unserious offer,” and that she would not support the bill if this were to become the sole enforcement mechanism.
Alsobrooks also said, “But we will continue to work from this foundation to reach an agreement that holds all parties accountable.”
Alsobrooks was one of two Democratic senators who voted in May to advance the Clarity Act through the Senate Banking Committee. She had previously stated that her continued support for the bill would depend on whether the final text included strong ethical safeguards.
Currently, both parties are discussing the Clarity Act on Capitol Hill, and ethical issues are seen as the final obstacle to a compromise between the two sides.
