Senator Cory Booker has criticized the White House for complicating negotiations on a cryptocurrency bill, claiming that some Republican colleagues share his concerns. Booker accused former President Trump of exploiting cryptocurrency for personal gain, likening it to launching a hypothetical "Cory coin" as a sitting senator. Senator Adam Schiff supports Booker and Senator Amy Klobuchar's call for ethics provisions in the bill, emphasizing that these should apply to all federal officials, from Congress to the President, without singling out individuals. Senator Elissa Slotkin remarked that Republicans would react strongly if similar financial gains from crypto were associated with Joe Biden or Barack Obama, highlighting the profits Trump and his family allegedly made from crypto while in office.
