The Republican chair and Democratic ranking member of the US House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture have called on President Donald Trump to fully staff the leadership at a key financial regulator, citing the potential impact of a crypto market structure bill.<\/p>\n

In a Friday letter to Trump, House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson and ranking member Angie Craig asked<\/a> the president to \u201cnominate a full panel\u201d of bipartisan leaders for the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
