Democrats are raising concerns about the enforcement of the Clarity Act's ethics provisions, arguing that having the Attorney General nominee, a former personal lawyer to Trump, oversee the regulations presents a conflict of interest. They propose that state attorney generals should be responsible for enforcement instead.
“So they said, OK, like, fine, but you're you're you're going to under this text, it falls short because you're going to have your attorney general nominee Blanche, who's a current nominee, which used to be Trump's former personal lawyer, be the enforcer of this.”
“Oh, OK. You see why that's kind of a conflict of interest. Yeah. And so the Democrats are saying, basically, if you want to get this through, then it has to be state attorney generals that actually enforce this. You can't have your guy enforcing this.”
