White House Chief Crypto Advisor Patrick Witt to Take Leave for Military Training, Potentially Impacting Clarity Act Negotiations

Odaily Planet Daily News: White House Chief Crypto Advisor Patrick Witt will begin a multi-month leave later this month to attend the JAG program training with the Georgia Army National Guard. Witt originally planned to participate in the program in April but postponed it due to extended negotiations on the Clarity Act. However, he could not defer again this time. Since assuming the role last August, Witt has led negotiations with lawmakers and industry stakeholders on core disputes regarding the bill, including brokering a compromise between the crypto industry and banks on stablecoin yields, handling ethical clause disputes, and securing support from law enforcement agencies. Deputy Harry Jung will take over his responsibilities.
