[U.S. House Agriculture Committee Urges Trump to Nominate CFTC Commissioners and Emphasizes the Importance of the CLARITY Act] Odaily Planet Daily News – Glenn Thompson, Chairman of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, along with its members, has sent a letter to President Trump urging him to promptly nominate a full slate of commissioners for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The letter noted that the CFTC is currently led solely by Chairman Michael Selig. If the CLARITY Act is passed, the CFTC will face significant rule-making responsibilities, and a complete leadership team is critical to addressing "pressing regulatory issues." At this stage, Trump has yet to publicly announce any CFTC commissioner nominations, and such nominations would still require weeks or even months of review and approval by the Senate.
