The Trump Administration just lifted sanctions against a company at the heart of North Korea's ability to hack crypto funds to finance their nuclear weapons arsenal. Secretary Bessent's words are meaningless. His actions make it easier for North Korea to build nukes. Stop me if e, but the Trump Administration is, once again, making life easier for dictators and foreign adversaries.

House Republicans have refused to bring to the floor my amendments to help address the use of crypto obfuscation tools that are preferred by terrorists, drug traffickers, and foreign adversaries. I urge my colleagues to oppose this harmful bill.

The reporting that @PatrickMcHenry has threatened the National Defense Authorization Act, including legislation to combat fentanyl trafficking, unless it includes legislation written by & for the crypto lobby is concerning to anyone who cares about protecting national security.

Today, I introduced an amendment to legislation under consideration by the Financial Services Committee to get to the bottom of how much money Hamas has raised in crypto and how they use mixers to stay anonymous. Every single Republican on the committee voted against it.

We can not allow crypto to be used to launder money and bypass international sanctions. I led a bipartisan letter with @SenWarren, @RogerMarshallMD and over 100 of our colleagues asking the Biden Admin how it plans to prevent future crypto-financed terrorism.

Cryptocurrency and other digital assets pose risks to the United States' national security through money laundering, ransomware, and other illicit methods. We need to strengthen our nation’s anti-money laundering laws by addressing gaps in the Bank Secrecy Act.

If someone invested in the S&P 500 between 2017 and 2022, they would have received a 61% return, but if they invested in the median basket of cryptocurrencies, they would have lost 46% of the investment. Crypto is not the solution to closing the wealth inequality gap.
