President Donald Trump recently announced that he would organize a private dinner for the 220 biggest holders of $ Trump, the same piece he launched a few days before taking office – and several American senators would like to know exactly Why He does that.
The dinner was published publicly on the home page of $ Trump Coin last Wednesday, and included a special VIP package for the 25 best holders: a private reception with Trump and a VIP visit to the White House the next day. According to the site, the winners will be determined by the quantity of money which a candidate owned, as well as the duration of the duration between April 23 and May 12. “The more you have $ Trump – the more you hold it – the higher your ranking,” he said.
At its peak, a $ Trump token cost $ 75.35 on January 19, the day before its inauguration. He has dropped since, losing 88% of his value, and experienced $ 9.18 before the announcement of the competition. The promotion caused a leap of $ Trump of more than 50%, according to CBS, reaching a peak of $ 14.32 that afternoon and providing an additional value of $ 100 million.
The Democratic senators were indignant, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) published on X that it was “the most corrupt thing that a president has ever made”. In a letter obtained by CNBC, the senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) have asked that the American ethics office will open an investigation into the actions of the president, noting that dinner could indicate that Trump and his civil servants could engage in the riots of corruption with presidential interests in people, for foreign ratings and foreign actors And his family, ”wrote the senators.
The probability of an investigation, however, is slim: the Republicans have control of the two Congress chambers, and in February, Trump dismissed the director of the Office of Ethics, who had just been confirmed by the Senate to serve a five -year term.
Trump has closely adopted the crypto world in recent years, courting the community during its second presidential race as well as to name David Sacks as “Czar Crypto” to shape the policy around virtual currency, establishing a “Bitcoin Strategic Reserve” and by crucially eliminating the unity of the Ministry of Justice which prose the fraud to the crypto. In return, cryptographic companies have donated millions of dollars to Trump’s campaign and the inauguration committee.
