US EditionMike Johnson Doesn’t Care About Trump’s Business Conflicts, Crypto Dinner Because They’re ‘Out In The Open’
- House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed concerns on May 14 about President Trump's private dinner Thursday at his Virginia golf club for the top 220 buyers of his $TRUMP meme coin.
- The dinner occurred amid increasing scrutiny over Trump's business conflicts and crypto ventures, while the guest list remains undisclosed and some lawmakers raised ethics concerns.
- Johnson defended Trump by contrasting investigations of Hunter Biden's business dealings, asserting Trump operates transparently without shell companies or fake LLCs and puts everything out in the open for public evaluation.
- Blockchain analysis estimates attendees invested about $148 million in the $TRUMP token, with more than half of them reportedly based outside the U.S., prompting concerns about foreign influence on crypto policy.
- Johnson's dismissal and Trump's claimed transparency suggest ongoing political defense, while calls persist for disclosure of dinner attendees and further ethics oversight around the president's business activities.
