Senate Banking Committee Advances Trump’s SEC Chair Pick Paul Atkins

Paul Atkins, President Trump’s nomination to develop into the brand new Chairman of the Securities and Alternate Fee, handed a vote from the U.S. Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.

Following the 13-11 vote, during which all Democrats had been against Trump’s choose, the nomination of Atkins—anticipated to be a pro-crypto SEC Chair—will now go on to the Senate flooring for a full vote.
