國會民主黨人威脅訴訟，引入立法併計劃抗議美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的成員晚宴。

特朗普（Trump）的附屬業務在他第二任期的成立前幾天就發布了特朗普的紀念品，他宣布他將於週四在弗吉尼亞州波托馬克瀑布（Potomac Falls）的特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部（Trump National Golf Club）舉行晚餐，將其託管在弗吉尼亞州的特朗普國家高爾夫球俱樂部（Trump National Golf Club）舉行晚餐，導致價格峰值，導致價格峰值，因為這是一個有興趣的人，以確保邀請邀請。

Congressional Democrats threatened lawsuits, introduced legislation and planned protests in the lead-up to U.S. President Donald Trump's memecoin dinner.

國會民主黨人威脅要訴訟，提出立法併計劃抗議美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的紀念晚宴。

The 220 largest holders of the $TRUMP token were invited to the dinner at the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia on Thursday, and the president's post announcing the event led to a spike in the token's price as interested parties immediately began buying more tokens to secure an invite.

週四，$ 220 $特朗普代幣的最大持有人被邀請在弗吉尼亞州波托馬克瀑布的特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部參加晚宴，總統的帖子宣布這次活動導致了代幣的價格飆升，因為感興趣的當事方立即開始購買更多的代幣來確保邀請。

Critisi of the move called it corrupt, pointing to the fact that foreign buyers who otherwise could not legally donate money to the president were purchasing tokens, as well as the opacity surrounding their buys — many of the dinner's attendees are unknown, and some even pointed to the ability to maintain anonymity as a factor in their decision to go, according to the Washington Post.

這一舉動的critisi稱其為腐敗，指出一個事實，那些否則無法合法向總統捐款的外國買家正在購買代幣，以及圍繞他們購買的不透明性 - 晚餐的許多與會者都是未知的，甚至有些人甚至指出能夠將匿名性作為他們決定的匿名能力。

Tron creator Justin Sun boasted about being the top holder of the token ahead of the dinner, and the wallet with the largest $TRUMP holding is tied to HTX, a crypto exchange connected to Sun, according to blockchain explorers.

據Blockchain Explorers稱，Tron的創作者賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）吹噓自己在晚餐前成為代幣的頂級持有人，而特朗普持有最大的錢包與HTX相關。

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Democrat who previously wrote open letters to two Trump-affiliated businesses asking about their crypto ventures, said Trump was "auctioning" access to the White House with the memecoin dinner, according to a press call organized by center-left watchdog Accountable U.S.

康涅狄格州民主黨參議員理查德·布魯門塔爾（Richard Blumenthal）此前曾向兩家特朗普附屬企業詢問其加密貨幣企業的公開信，說特朗普正在用Memecoin晚宴“拍賣”與白宮的接觸，這是由中左右的新聞通話。

"What's happening tonight…is in effect, putting a ‘for sale’ sign on the White House," Blumenthal said. "It's auctioning off access. He's literally saying to investors, 'the more you buy of my memecoin, the greater your chance of coming to dinner with me.'"

布魯門塔爾說：“今晚發生的事情……有效，在白宮上放了一個'待售'標誌。” “這是在拍賣的訪問。他從字面上對投資者說：'您購買我的成員的越多，與我共進晚餐的機會越大。''

Blumenthal suggested that a lawsuit might force Trump to comply with at least some rules around foreign gifts or payments.

Blumenthal建議訴訟可能迫使特朗普遵守有關外國禮物或付款的至少一些規則。

During Trump's first presidency, Blumenthal and other members of Congress sued Trump for allegedly violating the U.S. Constitution's foreign emoluments clause, which forbids public officials from taking gifts from foreign governments without the permission of Congress.

在特朗普的第一任總統期間，布魯門塔爾和其他國會議員起訴特朗普據稱違反了《美國憲法的外國埃默爾條款》，該條款禁止公職人員在未經國會允許的情況下從外國政府那裡獲得禮物。

Though an appeals court eventually nixed the suit, Blumenthal said Thursday he's ready to try again.

儘管上訴法院最終否定了訴訟，但布魯門塔爾週四表示，他準備再次嘗試。

"If there were an authorization from Congress, members would bring a lawsuit. I would be more than happy to do it. I'd be eager to do it," he said.

他說：“如果國會有授權，成員會提起訴訟。我會很樂意這樣做。我渴望這樣做。”

Even if Congress doesn't authorize this, private groups, like public interest bodies, could also bring a lawsuit, which lawmakers could support through Amicus briefs, he said.

他說，即使國會不授權此事，公共利益機構等私人團體也可以提起訴訟，立法者可以通過法庭之友摘要來支持這一訴訟。

"And essentially, the allegation would be, he's violating the provision of the United States Constitution that forbids payments or benefits from a foreign power, plenipotentiary," he said. "It's specifically enumerated in the Constitution, unless he has consent with Congress and he has no consent."

他說：“從本質上講，指控是，他違反了美國憲法的規定，該規定禁止外國權力付款或福利。” “除非他同意國會，否則他沒有同意，否則這是在憲法中特別列舉的。”

Representative Maxine Waters, the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, pushed a new bill on Thursday that again seeks to make the president's crypto dealings explicitly illegal.

眾議院金融服務委員會的排名民主黨代表麥克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）週四提出了一項新法案，該法案再次旨在使總統的加密交易明確非法。

The legislation — labeled the Stop Trading, Retention, and Unfair Market Payoffs in Crypto Act of 2025, carefully named for purposes of an acronym as the Stop TRUMP in Crypto Act — prohibits senior government officials and lawmakers from owning, controlling or serving as an officer of a crypto firm or token issuer, and also from trading in digital assets if they have special insight because of their government role.

這項立法將2025年《加密法》（Crypto Act）的停止交易，保留和不公平的市場報酬標記為縮寫為首字母縮寫詞為《加密貨幣法》中的《停止特朗普》（Stop Trump in Crypto Act）的命名 - 禁止政府官員和立法者擁有，控製或擔任Crypto Firm Off Crypto Firm或Token Insus的官員，以及他們在數字上的貿易中的職責，以及他們在數字上的互換而成為特殊行動。

"Nowhere is Trump's blatant disregard and disrespect for the rule of law more apparent than in the way he has exploited the office of the Presidency to promote shady, fraudulent crypto ventures that hold no real value, and serve no true purpose other than to pad his pockets," Waters said in a statement when she announced the legislation.

沃特在宣布立法時在一份聲明中說：“沒有什麼比他剝削總統辦公室來促進陰暗的，欺詐性的加密貨幣企業更為明顯的公然無視法治和不尊重法治。”

A White House spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the backlash from Democrats.

白宮發言人沒有立即回應對民主黨人對反對的置評請求。

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was "attending [the dinner] in his personal time."

在新聞發布會上，白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特（Karoline Leavitt）說，特朗普“在他的個人時期參加了（晚餐）”。

"It is not a White House dinner, it's not taking place here," she said when asked if the White House would share the names of the attendees.

當被問及白宮是否會分享與會者的名字時，她說：“這不是白宮晚餐，不是在這裡舉行。”

Waters' bill is substantially similar to earlier efforts from Senator Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat behind the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act, and Representative Sam Liccardo, who also had a bill in the House.

沃特斯（Waters）的法案基本上與參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）的早期努力相似，克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）是康涅狄格州民主黨人背後的一名現代埃默爾（Memoluments and Meme）執法法案（MEME）法案，也是代表Sam Liccardo，他在眾議院也有一項法案。

The Democrats protesting Trump's dinner, however, further reveal the party's crypto split. These are largely the same lawmakers who have maintained opposition to crypto legislation, while another faction of the party recently joined with Republicans to advance a stablecoin bill in the Senate.

然而，民主黨人抗議特朗普的晚宴，進一步揭示了該黨的加密貨幣分裂。這些在很大程度上是對加密立法反對的立法者，而該黨的另一個派別最近與共和黨人一起推進了參議院的一項穩定法案。

Their argument: Trump's actions may be inappropriate — or even illegal — but new legislation doesn't need to further underline that point.

他們的論點：特朗普的行動可能是不合適的，甚至是非法的，但新立法並不需要進一步強調這一點。

Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Jeff Merkley and Murphy held a press conference Thursday afternoon alongside consumer advocacy groups to decry the president's dinner plans. The lawmakers are demanding that Trump reveal the names of the evening's attendees

民主黨參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren），傑夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）和墨菲（Murphy）週四下午與消費者倡導團體一起舉行了新聞發布會，以譴責總統的晚餐計劃。議員們要求特朗普透露當晚與會者的名字
