Trump Faces Bipartisan Ethics Scrutiny Over $TRUMP Dinner

President Trump is under bipartisan scrutiny for planning an exclusive dinner at his private club for the top 220 investors in his $TRUMP memecoin, with the top 25 also receiving VIP access. Senate Republicans Cynthia Lummis and Lisa Murkowski, along with Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff, have raised ethical concerns about exchanging presidential access for major cryptocurrency investments. Warren and Schiff have requested an investigation by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, citing risks of 'pay-to-play' corruption and foreign influence through anonymous crypto holdings. The announcement led to a nearly 50% surge in the $TRUMP coin's value, amplifying concerns about conflicts between the president's office and personal financial interests. Lawmakers from both parties are also calling for stronger regulation of digital assets to address potential security and ethical risks. Currently, no law explicitly prohibits such an event, but critics warn about transparency, foreign involvement, and the precedent it sets.
