Trump Sign‑Off Hinge Pushes Senate Crypto Ethics Talks to a Crossroad
Democrats are pressing to add ethics provisions to a landmark cryptocurrency bill to curb government officials’ dealings with digital assets, and are negotiating with a White House adviser while seeking Trump’s sign‑off before a Thursday Banking Committee markup; Republicans have publicly mocked the process as a circus, though some say progress is possible if the president approves the deal. The live updates also cover DOJ‑related scrutiny of payments to agents under acting AG Todd Blanche, debates over Secret Service funding tied to Trump’s ballroom plans, and a House Oversight hearing with Epstein victims, along with other Capitol Hill developments shaping the week.
