Trump's crypto dinner is once again at the center of controversy. Democrats in Congress are calling for information on all attendees at the event focused on his memecoin projects.
Raskin's Request for Guest List
Representative Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, has officially requested President Trump to reveal the full list of attendees at his recent dinner with over 200 buyers of his $TRUMP cryptocurrency.
Democrats' Concerns About Foreign Investments
Democrats are worried that foreign governments could be involved in Trump's cryptocurrency projects. The Constitution prohibits presidents from accepting money from foreign sources without congressional approval. Raskin pointed out that Justin Sun, founder of Tron, was present at the dinner and is a major investor in the Trump family's digital currency.
Political Consequences and Administration's Response
Raskin's requests may face obstacles, as Republicans hold a majority in both chambers of Congress. This also raises important questions about how presidents should handle their business matters. Trump's supporters view his cryptocurrency actions as legal business, while his opponents highlight potential consequences of foreign investment influence on the White House. The administration has yet to respond to official requests.
The controversy surrounding Trump's dinner continues to attract attention, raising crucial issues about transparency and foreign influence in presidential business ventures.
