While Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson made the controversial move to shut down the House early to prevent Congress from grilling Jeffrey Epstein’s former partner and convicted sex trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, the so-called “Crypto Queen,” published a press release on Tuesday afternoon imploring the Senate to remain in session for the summer. “There’s too much work to be done to go home in August,” Lummis said. “I’m calling on my colleagues to stay in Washington and finish the job the American people elected us to do.” Earlier on Tuesday, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs released an initial discussion draft of digital asset market structure legislation. Lummis chairs the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, which is part of the larger committee led by South Carolina’s Tim Scott. “The American people delivered a decisive mandate for President Trump and a Republican Senate majority to implement this agenda – we cannot let them down,” the release states.
