During the session, crypto critic and U.S. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren reportedly addressed Senator John Kennedy, stating that the CLARITY Act is a "Tornado problem."

Terrett explained that while Republican lawmakers argue the CLARITY Act can solve illicit finance issues, Warren believes the bill does not go far enough.
