On April 23rd, according to Cointelegraph, former U.S. SEC Chairperson Jay Clayton has been appointed as the interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, replacing Damian Williams, who has played an important role in multiple high-profile cryptocurrency cases. The appointment is of a temporary nature, due to the fact that Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer used a "blue sheet" to block a confirmation vote for Clayton on April 16th. Senators can use the "blue sheet" to block a U.S. Attorney or judicial nominee for a district court in their state. Clayton does not need Senate approval to serve as the interim U.S. Attorney for a maximum of 120 days. Clayton's temporary position will last until around August 20th. After that, he would need to be approved by the Senate or granted a temporary extension by the Manhattan federal court.
