White House crypto adviser to take months-long leave for military training, new variable for CLARITY Act
Patrick Witt, who has handled White House digital asset policy work, will be away for several months from late July for military training. He is expected to wrap up work on July 24 and attend legal officer training with the Georgia Army National Guard, which would qualify him to serve as a legal officer. His absence overlaps with late-stage Senate talks on the CLARITY Act, a comprehensive digital asset market framework, and could affect coordination.
