New Facts: Trump Urges Clarity Act in Graham's Honor
On Monday, July 13, 2026, President Donald Trump urged the U.S. Senate to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) in honor of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), according to CNBC, The Hill, Bloomberg Tax, and other outlets.
The CLARITY Act is a major cryptocurrency market-structure proposal before the Senate; it cleared the Senate Banking Committee with a 15–9 bipartisan vote, Seeking Alpha reports.
FXStreet says Trump called for the Senate to swiftly advance the bill as it nears a crucial vote, while The Defiant notes he also framed the push in terms of competition with China and artificial intelligence.
Bloomberg Tax, The Hill, and CUToday describe the measure as a sweeping effort to regulate digital assets, and multiple outlets tie Trump’s appeal directly to Graham’s death days earlier.
Hindustan Times reports the legislation faces opposition tied to ethics rules and Trump’s crypto ties, and other outlets did not specify a firm date for a Senate floor vote.
