Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is questioning President Donald Trump’s actions regarding the use of an official memecoin, suggesting it may grant certain individuals undue access. Ossoff argues that Trump is attempting to attract the attention of select investors through this memecoin, which could constitute a legal offense.
Bribery and Cryptocurrency
In the past 48 hours, Ossoff has made statements indicating that Trump is facilitating access to exclusive meetings for those who purchase the memecoin. The Democratic Senator stated that this practice implies direct payment acceptance by a sitting president, which could be deemed illegal. He believes this action could be viewed as a breach of duty.
Dinner with Crypto Whales
According to Senator Ossoff, Trump’s actions related to the memecoin not only provide voters with access but also suggest other legal violations. Ossoff pointed out that there are instances where Trump has ignored court rulings, indicating that such actions may warrant legal scrutiny. Additionally, Representative Al Green from Texas and Shri Thanedar from Michigan have similarly argued that the president should face legal consequences.
Ossoff emphasized that Trump appears to be using the memecoin for public promotion. He stated, “I saw it 48 hours ago; Trump is granting access to those who buy the memecoin. A sitting president receiving direct payments raises substantial questions about legal violations.”
It has been reported that Trump plans to invite top memecoin investors to a special gala dinner, scheduled for May. According to event details, invitees will gather at the president’s national golf club for this exclusive meeting.
Current data indicates that the price of Trump Coin is at $14.79. It was previously claimed that Justin Sun had purchased WLFI, another Trump-related token, to evade SEC sanctions.
As Trump’s strategy using the memecoin continues to provoke political and legal debates, voters and the public will closely monitor these developments.
