Deaton accuses of predetermined testimony

Deaton accused Warren of providing Gensler with both questions and answers before his committee appearance, describing it as potential suborning of perjury under 18 USC 1622.

“She gave him not only the questions, but the answers to what she was going to say,” Deaton stated, comparing it to a professor providing exam answers to students.

Warren responded by pivoting to Deaton’s cryptocurrency connections, claiming “80% of Mr. Deaton’s wealth is tied up in crypto” and “90% of his funding for this campaign is coming from crypto.” She suggested these connections would influence his potential actions in Washington.

Deaton, defending his record, highlighted his pro bono work in cryptocurrency litigation. He cited awards including Consumer Advocate of the Year and Freedom of Defender Award.

Deaton emphasized his journey from extreme poverty to success before entering politics, contrasting it with career politicians who, he alleged, became wealthy after entering public service.

The debate underscores broader tensions between cryptocurrency advocates and traditional financial regulators. Deaton’s accusations regarding predetermined testimony raise questions about oversight processes and the relationship between Congress and regulatory agencies.
