Representative calls for Justice Department probe into Donald Trump’s dinner with memecoin investors. Members of the US House are raising concerns about potential foreign influence and violations of the emoluments clause. 35 representatives sent a letter to the DOJ, arguing that the event raises red flags regarding bribery statutes and unconstitutional financial dealings. The letter argues that the presence of mostly foreign nationals at the dinner, coupled with Trump’s promise of exclusive access for investors, potentially allows foreign governments to buy influence from the President without disclosing their identities. A separate group of senators are also pursuing legislation aimed at curbing Trump’s alleged involvement in crypto-related corruption. These actions follow a controversial gathering where attendees, including crypto tycoon Justin Sun, met with Trump at his golf club outside Washington D.C., sparking protests and calls for transparency. While a complete guest list remains unknown, the event has sparked political debate and raised concerns about its implications for future legislation regarding cryptocurrency.
