US crypto advisor says provisions targeting Trump in market bill are unacceptable

Patrick Witt, U.S. President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, said he will not tolerate anti-corruption provisions within the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act) that target President Donald Trump. In an interview with CoinDesk, Witt described the bill's initial ethics-related provisions as completely absurd. He stated that there is a red line and that targeting the president personally or his family will never be tolerated. Witt emphasized that he expects the Democratic Party to present a more reasonable proposal to reach an agreement. Democrats have been demanding restrictions on the use of cryptocurrencies by senior government officials.
