Trump urges Senate to pass crypto bill in honor of Graham

Source: The Hill

President Trump called on the Senate to pass a cryptocurrency regulation bill Monday in honor of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who unexpectedly died over the weekend.

“In honor of Senator Lindsey Graham, a big supporter, the U.S. Senate should pass the Clarity Act,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “China, and many other countries, would like to take complete and total control of this major financial ‘happening,’ as well as A.I., where we are now leading, but where they are fighting hard.
