眾議員里奇·麥考密克（R-GA）承認“也許是“唐納德·特朗普總統的加密”糾纏“需要“解決”

眾議員里奇·麥考密克（Rich McCormick）（R-GA）被丹·艾布拉姆斯（Dan Abrams）施壓時承認，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統的加密貨幣“糾纏”和其他投資需要“解決”。

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) conceded when pressed by Dan Abrams that “maybe” President Donald Trump‘s crypto “entanglements” and other investments need to be “addressed.”

眾議員里奇·麥考密克（Rich McCormick）（R-GA）被丹·艾布拉姆斯（Dan Abrams）施壓時承認，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統的加密貨幣“糾纏”和其他投資需要“解決”。

McCormick joined The Dan Abrams Show on Monday, where Abrams, Mediaite’s founder, noted concern about Trump’s recently-launched meme coin. Abrams cited a new Wall Street Journal report titled, “Breaking Down Trump’s Entanglements With Crypto,” while running through the massive reported profits the president is bringing in. Trump offered top investors perks, including access to him and a private gala at his golf resort.

麥考密克（McCormick）週一加入了丹·艾布拉姆斯（Dan Abrams）的演出，Mediaite的創始人艾布拉姆斯（Abrams）對特朗普最近發出的模因硬幣表示關注。艾布拉姆斯（Abrams）列舉了一份新的華爾街日報，標題為“打破特朗普與加密貨幣的糾纏”，同時通過大量的巨額報導，總統帶來的利潤。特朗普為他提供了頂級投資者的特權，包括與他的接觸和他的高爾夫度假村的私人晚宴。

“The Trump family and its partners have made like $320 million in trading fees alone since the president’s meme coin launched. You okay with all this?” Abrams asked McCormick.

“自從總統的模因硬幣推出以來，特朗普家族及其合作夥伴僅支付了3.2億美元的交易費。艾布拉姆斯問麥考密克。

The lawmaker argued that “at least it’s an honest conversation this time,” pivoting to former President Joe Biden and ethics concerns stemming from his son, Hunter Biden, selling paintings for high-dollar amounts. He acknowledged that “maybe” Trump’s crypto offerings “need to be addressed.”

這位議員們辯稱，“至少這次是一次誠實的對話”，與前總統喬·拜登（Joe Biden）和道德有關的關注是他的兒子亨特·拜登（Hunter Biden）引起的，出售了高價值的繪畫。他承認“也許”特朗普的加密貨幣“需要被解決”。

McCormick said:

麥考密克說：

At least it’s an honest conversation this time. Before, when people are selling artwork from a son of a certain president for exorbitant amounts, it was considered not really an issue, and I’m not sure why. But I think maybe it needs to be addressed.

至少這是一次誠實的對話。以前，當人們從某個總統的兒子出售藝術品以高昂的數量時，這並不是真正的問題，我不確定為什麼。但是我認為也許需要解決。

I look at the strict conversation about what we get compensated for as congressmen and as senators and the conflict of interest [reviews] that we have to do every year to make sure we don’t have a conflict of interests. The presidency has much more. And that’s something maybe we as a Congress take a look at.

我看著關於我們作為國會議員和參議員和利益衝突的嚴格對話，我們每年必須做的，以確保我們沒有利益衝突。總統職位還有更多。這也許我們作為國會來看看。

McCormick declared he’s “pro-limiting” presidential power and went on to complain that members of Congress don’t make enough money, arguing many take pay cuts to serve.

麥考密克宣布他是“限制”的總統權力，並繼續抱怨國會議員沒有賺到足夠的錢，辯稱許多人會削減薪水來服務。

Abrams pressed McCormick further on Trump, noting there has also been backlash to the president boasting about being gifted a $400 million plane from Qatar.

艾布拉姆斯（Abrams）向麥考密克（McCormick）施加了進一步的向特朗普（Trump）施壓，並指出，總統吹噓從卡塔爾（Katar）贈送了一架4億美元的飛機。

“You’re saying that, yeah, we may have to look into that. I mean, it seems to me like you definitely have to look into it, right? It seems like it’s sort of unambiguous about the potential risks,” Abrams said, adding he would expect “straight shooter” members of Congress to investigate Trump and his financial dealings while in office.

艾布拉姆斯說：“是的，是的，是的，我們可能必須對此進行研究。我的意思是，在我看來，您似乎必須對此進行調查，對嗎？似乎對潛在風險有些明確。”

“Well, it’s not an investigation. It’s wide open. It is transparency,” McCormick argued. “It’s not a matter of if it’s happening or not. That’s where the investigation would come. We know it’s happened. The question is, is it legal? I don’t think it’s illegal. If it’s illegal, it’ll be prosecuted because nobody’s hiding anything. The question is, should it be illegal? That’s the question you’re asking.”

麥考密克說：“嗯，這不是調查。它是敞開的。這是透明的。” “這不是發生是否發生。

Abrams pushed back on the “transparency” argument, noting that the $400 million jet gift was only revealed to the public through a media report.

艾布拉姆斯（Abrams）推遲了“透明度”論點，並指出，僅通過媒體報告向公眾透露了4億美元的噴氣式禮物。

“I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be able to hide a gift for $400 million,” McCormick said.

麥考密克說：“我很確定他們將無法以4億美元的價格隱藏禮物。”

“That’s true, that’s true that eventually it would have become public, but for now the only reason we know about it is because of a media report,” Abrams said.

艾布拉姆斯說：“這是的確，這是的確，最終它將成為公開，但就目前而言，我們知道這是因為媒體報告的唯一原因。”

McCormick again went after Biden, citing the former president’s pardons he offered to family members just before leaving office.

麥考密克再次追隨拜登，援引他在離開辦公室前向家人提供的前總統赦免。

“So to you, the more important issue is whether we know about it — is more important than the underlying conduct itself?” Abrams asked.

“因此，對您來說，更重要的問題是我們是否知道這一點比基礎行為本身更重要嗎？”艾布拉姆斯問。

“Yeah, because you can’t deal with it if you don’t know about it. Now, if we know about that, we can actually have the people weigh in and say, what laws do we want to have as a governor, as a reflection of the people? What accountability [do] we want to have? That’s a great conversation. I’m willing to have that all day long,” McCormick said.

“是的，因為如果您不知道，您將無法處理。現在，如果我們知道這一點，我們實際上可以讓人們權衡並說，我們想成為州長的法律，作為人們的反思，我們想進行什麼責任[我們想進行什麼？這是一個很好的對話。

“I guess the part that’s still hidden is what exact influence these Middle Eastern countries are having on policy, right? We don’t know. We can’t know exactly what conversations are going on behind closed doors. Are there quid pro quos, etc? Those are questions we don’t have the answer to, and that would require an investigation.”

“我猜仍然隱藏的部分是這些中東國家對政策的嚴重影響，對嗎？我們不知道。我們不知道確切的對話正在閉門造車。是否有問題，等等？這些是我們沒有答案的問題，這需要調查。”

“That’s why it’s really important to have the president working with Senate and Congress when it comes to passing bills rather than executive privilege when it comes to [policy making] — then you can’t have a quid pro quo for one person. You have to have the checks and balances of the Senate and the House, that’s where the real people’s representation lies, and that’s where it always should be.”

“這就是為什麼要與參議院和國會合作在通過賬單而不是執行特權時，這就是為什麼在[政策制定]方面的特權 - 那麼，您不能為一個人提供一個問題。您必須擁有參議院和眾議院的支票和平衡，這就是真正的人的代表，而這就是它的所在地，以及它的所在地。”
