🚨NEW: Late night plea from Democratic Senators on the Banking Committee for a full hearing ahead of Thursday’s markup.

Sens. @ChrisVanHollen, @TinaSmithMN, and @SenJackReed sent a letter to @BankingGOP leadership criticizing the lack of text (expected to be well over 200 pages) just two days before the markup, calling the timeline inadequate for voting on “the most significant law considered by the committee this century.”

Note: All three have anti-crypto records and are expected to vote ‘no’ regardless of whether a hearing happens or not.

Before the Christmas break, GOP Sen. @SenJohnKennedy sent a similar letter with Reed, expressing his wish for a hearing to better understand the issues at hand. He didn’t sign this latest missive, and it’s unclear if he still feels the same way.
