Trump Faces Legal Concerns over Presidential Seal Use at Private Event

President Donald Trump is facing legal scrutiny for using the presidential seal at a private dinner hosted for investors in the meme coin TRUMP, according to sources. The use of the seal in this setting raises questions about potential violations of Title 18, Section 713 of the US Code which prohibits government endorsements in commercial contexts. If found guilty, Mr. Trump could face up to six months in prison or hefty fines. Legal experts have highlighted that presidential seals are reserved for official occasions and previous presidents, including Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have consistently avoided using them in private commercial settings. The White House has yet to respond to media inquiries regarding the legality of the seal’s usage at this event.
