ME News reports that on July 22 (UTC+8), cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on X that Senator Angela Alsobrooks of the Democratic Party told her the White House’s proposal to assign the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) responsibility for enforcing the ethical provisions of the Clarity Act is an “unserious offer,” and that she would not support the bill if this were the sole enforcement mechanism. Alsobrooks also stated, “But we will continue building on this to reach an agreement that holds all relevant parties accountable.” Alsobrooks is one of only two Democratic senators who voted in May to advance the Clarity Act out of the Senate Banking Committee. She has previously indicated that her continued support for the bill hinges on whether the final text includes strong ethical safeguards. Currently, both parties are negotiating the Clarity Act on Capitol Hill, with ethical provisions remaining the final obstacle to a compromise. (Source: ODAILY)

Summary
Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks has criticized the White House for proposing that the Department of Justice handle enforcement actions under the Clarity Act’s ethics provisions, calling it an "unserious offer." She stated she would oppose the bill if the DOJ were the sole enforcement body. Alsobrooks advocates for a balanced approach that ensures accountability across all parties. A key concern is how CFT (Countering the Financing of Terrorism) measures will be incorporated into the final bill. She co-sponsored the legislation in May and has linked her continued support to robust ethical safeguards. Negotiations remain stalled in Congress.
