Angela Alsobrooks Says She Won’t Back CLARITY Act If DOJ Is Sole Ethics Enforcer

Democratic Sen. Angela Alsobrooks said she would not support the CLARITY Act if the Justice Department were the bill’s only ethics enforcer. According to NS3.AI, she made the comment as negotiators continue working from the current proposal as a starting point. Eleanor Terrett said Sen. Bernie Moreno described the proposal as shifting ethics enforcement to the federal DOJ rather than state attorneys general. Alsobrooks, one of two Democratic senators who voted in May to advance the bill, said negotiators would keep using the proposal as a starting point.
