民主黨人開始調查特朗普的加密貨幣

民主黨議員已經對前總統唐納德·特朗普的加密貨幣進行了多管齊下的調查，要求財務記錄並在外交交戰之前敦促撤資。這項努力代表了民主黨人對潛在的利益衝突和與特朗普不斷擴大的加密貨幣組合有關的外國影響的人們的關注。

Democratic lawmakers are launching a multi-pronged investigation into former President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures, requesting financial records and pressing for divestment ahead of diplomatic engagements.

民主黨議員正在對前總統唐納德·特朗普的加密貨幣企業進行多管齊下的調查，要求財務記錄並在外交交戰之前敦促撤資。

What Happened: The efforts represent growing concern among Democrats about potential conflicts of interest and foreign influence related to Trump’s expanding crypto portfolio.

發生的事情是：民主黨人對潛在的利益衝突和外國影響的努力日益關注，與特朗普不斷擴大的加密貨幣組合有關。

On Monday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) urged Trump to divest from his stablecoin holdings ahead of his upcoming Middle East trip. In a letter to Trump, the senators warned against allowing foreign governments to use the stablecoin to influence his decision making.

週一，民主黨參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（D-Mass。）和克里斯·範·霍倫（Chris van Hollen）（D-Md。）敦促特朗普在他即將到來的中東之旅之前撤離他的穩定股份。在給特朗普的一封信中，參議員警告不要允許外國政府使用穩定幣影響他的決策。

Their concerns stem partly from a New York Times report that Trump family members could profit from $2 billion in stablecoins used in a transaction with an Abu Dhabi investment fund.

他們的擔憂部分源於紐約時報的報告，特朗普家族成員可以從與阿布扎比投資基金交易中使用的20億美元的穩定幣中獲利。

"You can eliminate at least one venue for corruption—and potential violations of U.S. campaign finance law—by divesting all of your interests and your family's interests in the stablecoin," the lawmakers wrote.

立法者寫道：“您可以通過剝離您對穩定的所有利益和家人的利益來消除至少一個腐敗場所，並可能違反我們的競選財務法。”

The senators also noted that Trump's meme coin website had invited its top 220 investors to an "intimate private dinner" with the president. References to the White House were later removed from the website.

參議員還指出，特朗普的Meme Coin網站已邀請其前220名投資者與總統一起參加“親密的私人晚餐”。對白宮的引用後來從網站上刪除。

The Trump token faced criticism in the letter because purchaser identities remain undisclosed, potentially allowing bad actors to "curry favor with Trump" by buying the cryptocurrency. The investigation also seeks information on Republican digital fundraising platform WinRed and Elon Musk's super PAC, which reportedly contributed $250 million to Trump's election campaign.

特朗普令牌在信中面臨批評，因為購買者的身份仍然沒有公開，有可能通過購買加密貨幣來“與特朗普”“求愛”。該調查還尋求有關共和黨數字籌款平台Winred和Elon Musk的Super PAC的信息，據報導，該平台為特朗普的競選活動貢獻了2.5億美元。

Middle East Trip Cancels Stablecoin Concerns: In a separate development, Democratic Representatives Gerald Connolly, Joseph Morelle, and Jamie Raskin have requested all suspicious activity reports (SARs) filed since 2023 with the Treasury Department related to World Liberty Financial (WLF) and the Official Trump token.

中東旅行取消了穩定的問題：在另一項發展中，民主黨代表杰拉爾德·康諾利，約瑟夫·莫雷爾和傑米·拉斯金要求自2023年以來與財政部提交的所有可疑活動報告（SARS）（SARS），與世界自由金融（WLF）和正式的特朗普特朗普托克有關。

The lawmakers, who serve on the House Financial Services Committee, made the request in a May 14 letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

在眾議院金融服務委員會任職的立法者在5月14日給財政部長斯科特·貝森（Scott Bessent）的信中提出了要求。

The probe seeks any SARs mentioning several entities and individuals, including WLF, the Official Trump token, WinRed, America PAC, Elon Musk, Trump, MELANIA, and crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun, among others.

調查要求任何SARS提及包括WLF，官方特朗普令牌，Winred，America PAC，Elon Musk，Trump，Melania和Crypto企業家Justin Sun等幾個實體和個人。

Financial institutions in the U.S. are required to file SARs with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network when they detect activity that might indicate money laundering or fraud. The lawmakers requested these reports by May 30.

當美國的金融機構發現可能表明洗錢或欺詐的活動時，要求他們向金融犯罪執法網絡提交SARS。議員們在5月30日之前要求這些報告。

"Our investigation aims to determine whether legislation is necessary to prevent violations of campaign finance, consumer protection, bribery, securities fraud, and other anti-corruption laws," the Democrats wrote.

民主黨人寫道：“我們的調查旨在確定是否需要立法來防止違反競選財務，消費者保護，賄賂，證券欺詐和其他反腐敗法。”

They also cited the need to safeguard against "financial misconduct connected to prospective or current federal officials."

他們還列舉了保護“與潛在或現任聯邦官員有關的財務不當行為”的必要性。

The Democrats expressed concern that WLF could become a "vehicle for foreign influence peddling" because part of its token sale was open to foreign investors, who face "less stringent regulation than U.S. investors."

民主黨人對WLF可能成為“外國影響力的工具”表示關注，因為其代幣出售的一部分向外國投資者開放，外國投資者面臨“比美國投資者更嚴格的監管”。

They also flagged Justin Sun's investment in WLF and the subsequent pause of an SEC lawsuit against Sun as a matter of concern.

他們還標記了賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun）對WLF的投資，並隨後停止了針對Sun的SEC訴訟。

"We are deeply troubled by the potential for corruption and abuse of public trust that could arise from a foreign government official or entity's investment in a token marketed to the public as a means to 'support' President Trump," the letter stated.

這封信說：“我們對腐敗和濫用公共信任的潛力深感困擾，這可能是由於外國政府官員或實體投資於向公眾推銷的代幣的投資，以此作為“支持”特朗普總統的手段。”

The Trump token has faced criticism because the identities of its purchasers remain undisclosed, potentially allowing bad actors to buy the token to curry favor with the president.

特朗普令牌之所以面臨批評，是因為其購買者的身份仍然沒有公開，有可能允許壞演員購買代幣與總統求愛。

"The lack of transparency in the Trump token's investor base raises serious concerns about foreign actors or corrupt officials potentially using this vehicle to influence or gain access to President Trump," the Democrats wrote.

民主黨人寫道：“特朗普的投資者基礎缺乏透明度，引起了人們對外國演員或腐敗官員的嚴重關注，可能會使用這種工具來影響或與特朗普總統接觸。”

The Trump family members' involvement in the stablecoin venture was a key focus for the senators, who urged cooperation in winding down the stablecoin project.

特朗普家族成員參與Stablecoin Venture是參議員的重點，他們敦促合作結束Stablecoin項目。

"We urge you to cooperate fully with this request and to advise President Trump to divest from all of his and his family's interests in the stablecoin project by May 17, 2024, to avoid the clear and present danger of corruption and foreign interference in U.S. affairs," the senators concluded.

參議員總結說：“我們敦促您與這一要求完全合作，並建議特朗普總統在2024年5月17日之前在Stablecoin項目中脫離他和他的家人的所有利益，以避免避免對美國事務的腐敗和外國干預的明顯和現在的危險。”

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

特朗普運動沒有立即回應置評請求。

Later this week, Trump is set to travel to the Middle East in search of $1 trillion in deals and investments.

本週晚些時候，特朗普將於尋求1萬億美元的交易和投資前往中東。

As part of his trip, Qatar is planning to donate a $400 million luxury jet to serve as the new Air Force One, and the U.S. is considering loosening export restrictions on AI chips to the United Arab Emirates.

作為旅行的一部分，卡塔爾計劃捐贈一輛4億美元的豪華飛機作為新的空軍一號，美國正在考慮放寬對阿拉伯聯合酋長國的AI籌碼的出口限制。

These investigations represent the latest Democratic efforts targeting Trump's crypto ventures.

Earlier this month, Democrats launched a multi-angle attack with two bills and a subcommittee inquiry aiming at Trump's ability to profit from his crypto initiatives.
