Sens。 AdamSchiff和Elizabeth Warren要求聯邦道德監督者調查晚餐總統特朗普將參加

Sens。 AdamSchiff（D-Calif。）和Elizabeth Warren（D-Mass。）週五要求聯邦倫理監管機構調查晚餐總統特朗普將於下個月與他的Meme Coin中的頂級投資者一起參加。

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Friday asked a federal ethics watchdog to open an investigation into a planned dinner between President Trump and the top investors in his meme coin.

參議員亞當·希夫（D-Calif。）和參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（D-Mass。）週五要求聯邦道德監督機構對特朗普總統和他的模因硬幣中頂級投資者之間的計劃晚宴進行調查。

The two senators requested that U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who is also serving as acting director of the Office of Government Ethics, open a probe into the dinner, which prompted a significant surge in the price of the president’s token, $TRUMP.

兩位參議員要求美國貿易代表傑米森·格里爾（Jamieson Greer）也擔任政府道德辦公室的代理主任，對晚餐進行了調查，這促使總統代幣（特朗普$ trump）的價格大幅提高。

“This latest action raises grave ethics and legal concerns, including the severe risk that President Trump and other officials may be engaging in ‘pay to play’ corruption by selling presidential access to individuals or entities, to include foreign nationals and corporate actors with vested interests in federal action, while personally enriching the President and his family,” Schiff and Warren wrote in the request.

“這項最新的行動提出了嚴重的道德和法律問題，包括特朗普總統和其他官員可能通過向個人或實體出售總統的機會來涉及'付費''付費'的腐敗，包括外國國民和公司行為者在聯邦行動中具有既得利益，同時個人豐富了總統及其家人，” Schiff和Warren在要求中寫道。

The official website for $TRUMP announced Wednesday that the president would attend the “intimate private dinner” with the top 220 holders of his meme coin at his golf club near Washington.

特朗普$ $的官方網站週三宣布，總統將參加他在華盛頓附近的高爾夫俱樂部的前220個持有人的“親密私人晚餐”。

The top 25 investors will also receive an invitation to an “exclusive” reception with Trump and a “special” White House tour.

前25名投資者還將收到與特朗普和“特別”白宮巡迴演唱會的“獨家”招待會的邀請。

Immediately after the announcement, the price of $TRUMP jumped nearly 60 percent, rising from around $9 to almost $15. The token currently sits at about $14.5.

公告後，特朗普的價格立即上漲了近60％，從9美元左右上升到近15美元。該令牌目前的價格約為14.5美元。

The news of the dinner boosted the value of crypto wallets owned by a firm associated with the Trump Organization by about $100 million, according to an estimate from The Washington Post.

根據《華盛頓郵報》的估計，晚餐的消息提高了與特朗普組織相關的公司擁有的加密錢包的價值約1億美元。

Schiff and Warren suggested the move could implicate federal ethics laws, as well as laws barring federal officials from taking bribes or profiting from public office. They also warned it could be used by foreign actors to anonymously buy influence with the president.

Schiff和Warren建議此舉可能暗示聯邦道德法，以及禁止聯邦官員受賄賂或從公職中獲利的法律。他們還警告說，外國演員可以使用匿名與總統購買影響力。

“This new scheme is demonstrative of President Trump’s continued and concerning efforts to use his own name and likeness as President, as well as those of his family and the presidential office, for personal financial gain,” they added.

他們補充說：“這一新計劃證明了特朗普總統繼續努力利用自己的名字和肖像作為總統以及他的家庭和總統辦公室的肖像，以供個人經濟利益。”

The senators asked Greer whether the ethics office has provided guidance about digital assets, such as meme coins.

參議員問格里爾，道德辦公室是否已提供有關數字資產的指導，例如Meme Coins。

They are also seeking information about what mechanisms exist to determine whether the president is exchanging access for investment, as well as what safeguards are in place to block certain individuals, such as foreign actors, from making investments to gain influence.

他們還在尋求有關存在哪些機制來確定總統是否正在交換投資訪問以及阻礙某些個人（例如外國參與者）的保障措施的信息，從進行投資來獲得影響力。

“The American people deserve the unwavering assurance that access to the presidency is not being offered for sale to the highest bidder in exchange for the President’s own financial gain,” the senators said.

參議員說：“美國人民值得堅定的保證，即沒有向最高出價者出售擔任總統的機會，以換取總統自己的經濟利益。”

Trump launched his meme coin shortly before his inauguration. The price of $TRUMP initially shot up to $70 before falling in the ensuing months.

特朗普在就職典禮前不久發起了他的模因硬幣。特朗普的價格最初在隨後的幾個月中跌倒之前最高$ 70。

The president, who has vowed to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet,” has fully embraced the industry in his second term. In his first few months in office, he has named numerous crypto-friendly candidates to key positions in the administration and hosted industry leaders at the White House.

總統發誓要使美國成為“地球的加密首都”，他在第二任期內完全接受了該行業。在任職的頭幾個月中，他命名了許多對加密貨幣友好的候選人，以擔任政府的關鍵職位，並在白宮接待了行業領導人。

However, Trump’s personal foray into crypto has drawn scrutiny. His meme coin launch received a mixed response from the industry, as some worried it could reflect negatively on his efforts to boost digital assets.

但是，特朗普對加密貨幣的個人嘗試受到了審查。他的模因硬幣的發布得到了行業的不同回應，因為有些人擔心它會對他促進數字資產的努力產生負面的反映。

In recent months, the president and his family have continued to expand their crypto footprint.

近幾個月來，總統及其家人繼續擴大加密貨幣的佔地面積。

World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture Trump launched with his sons last fall, recently announced plans to launch a stablecoin. Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, also unveiled a partnership with Crypto.com to launch several exchange traded funds.

世界自由金融，去年秋天，特朗普的加密貨幣特朗普與他的兒子們發起了新的計劃。 Truth Social的母公司特朗普媒體和技術集團也與Crypto.com建立了合作夥伴關係，以啟動幾家交易所交易基金。
