Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks Opposes the White House's Proposed Ethics Clause Details in the Clarity Act

Odaily Planet Daily News: Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett said on the X platform that Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks has told her that the White House's proposal to have the US Department of Justice (DOJ) enforce the ethics clauses in the Clarity Act is an "unserious offer." She stated that if this becomes the only enforcement mechanism, she will not support the bill.

Alsobrooks also said: "But we will continue to work on this basis to try and reach an agreement that holds all relevant parties accountable."

Alsobrooks was one of two Democratic senators who voted in May to advance the Clarity Act through the Senate Banking Committee. She previously stated that whether she continues to support the bill depends on whether the final text includes strong ethical constraints.

Currently, both parties are discussing the Clarity Act on Capitol Hill, with the ethics issue seen as the final obstacle to reaching a compromise.
