Trump Faces Scrutiny over Private Dinner with Crypto Donors

  • On Thursday evening, Donald Trump welcomed the top 220 buyers of his $TRUMP memecoin to an exclusive gala dinner at his Sterling, Virginia golf club.
  • The event took place amid protests and ethical criticisms regarding possible conflicts stemming from the crypto project, with promises of exclusive perks made to the top holders.
  • The dinner featured an elegant indoor setup and notable attendees including Tencent billionaire Justin Sun, the largest memecoin holder, and Morten Christensen, who paid $1,200 to attend and shared event visuals.
  • Critics called the dinner a "blatant and appalling" sale of access, while Trump’s press secretary maintained it was a private event and Trump denied profiting, saying he attended in his personal time.
  • The dinner intensified debate over presidential ethics and crypto regulation, prompting some Democrats and pro-Trump supporters to voice concern about shadowy investors influencing U.S. Policy.
