Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo advocated on Tuesday for clear ethics guidelines in the cryptocurrency legislation amid mounting controversy over President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency earnings.
Cuomo Bats For Ethical Guardrails
During an interview with Bloomberg TV, Cuomo was asked to comment on Trump’s disclosure that he earned over $1 billion through cryptocurrency ventures in the first year of his presidency.
Cuomo admitted that “public cynicism” is very high in the U.S., especially at the federal level.
“I would hope they build in full disclosure and clear ethics guidelines so the public knows they’re not benefiting themselves by their actions,” he added.
