Progressives attack Senator Gillibrand over crypto legislation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Progressive groups are launching a strong criticism against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand regarding her role in brokering a compromise on the CLARITY Act, a bill concerning cryptocurrency legislation. These groups, including Indivisible and Demand Progress, argue that Gillibrand's son's involvement in the crypto industry undermines Democratic efforts to hold the Trump administration accountable for similar perceived corrupt practices. Gillibrand, however, has advocated for preventing elected officials and their spouses from issuing or sponsoring digital assets, while bipartisan negotiations continue on the bill's ethics provisions.
