Key Democrat will oppose crypto bill absent stronger ethics language
Sen. Angela Alsobrooks will oppose the Senate’s crypto bill unless ethics provisions are strengthened, criticizing the GOP proposal for relying too heavily on the Justice Department. She argues state attorneys general should enforce ethics if the DOJ fails, as bipartisan negotiations face challenges over ethics language and concerns about President Donald Trump’s crypto ties.
