President Donald Trump has agreed to a major part of a strict ethics proposal that is included in larger cryptocurrency legislation currently under discussion in Congress. The original version of the legislative proposal, known as the Clarity Act, included a restriction that would have prohibited all federally elected officials, their spouses, and federal judges from creating or issuing digital assets. However, a coalition of Democrats and Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, argued that the initial terms were not strong enough to address potential conflicts of interest related to Trump's own investments in cryptocurrency. Their support is critical for passing a key procedural vote scheduled for Tuesday. Tillis, along with Senator Ruben Gallego, a Democrat from Arizona, and several other Democratic senators, pushed for specific legal language that would allow state attorneys general to help enforce the legislation, alongside the federal Justice Department. In confirming Trump's agreement to the revised proposal, Republican Senators Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Scott of South Carolina, and John Boozman of Arkansas stated that state legal officers would have a "meaningful role" in enforcing the cryptocurrency oversight rules if the bill becomes law. White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt said on social media that the White House and Senate Republicans had been responsive to Democrats' policy goals throughout the negotiations on the Clarity Act. He added that after more than a year of talks, it is now time to pass the bipartisan legislation. However, internally, White House officials expressed concerns about giving local prosecutors federal enforcement powers, fearing that Democratic state attorneys general might use the authority as a political tool against the president and other Republicans, while Republican state prosecutors could do the same against Democrats. Despite these concerns, a senior Republican staffer confirmed that Trump endorsed about 80% of the compromise proposed by Tillis and Gallego, specifically highlighting the provision that grants authority to state legal officers. The revised text, expected to be released later Sunday, will include a requirement for officials to divest or place into a blind trust any "significant" financial interest in companies that issue digital currencies. Trump also agreed to terms that allow state attorneys general to take legal action against cryptocurrency exchanges that trade tokens banned by the main provisions of the bill. Spokespersons for Gallego and Tillis did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday night.
