Sens。 Schiff和Warren要求獨立調查特朗普總統的計劃，以豐富自己

這項最新行動引起了嚴重的道德和法律問題，包括唐納德·特朗普總統和其他官員可能正在從事“付費”腐敗的嚴重風險

U.S. Senators Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are demanding that a federal ethics agency investigate President Donald Trump's scheme to enrich himself by offering access to the president and other perks to individuals who have made significant investments in the president's personal meme coin.

美國參議員亞當·希夫（D-Calif。）和伊麗莎白·沃倫（D-Mass。）要求聯邦道德機構調查唐納德·特朗普總統通過向總統對總統個人模因幣進行大量投資的個人提供訪問權和其他津貼，以豐富自己的計劃。

In a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) on Friday, the senators urge the agency to open an urgent inquiry following the president's announcement this week that he would be holding a private dinner for top investors in his meme coin, $TRUMP, which led to a surge of anonymous investment that caused the value of the meme coin to rise nearly $100 million.

在周五致政府道德辦公室（OGE）的一封信中，參議員敦促該機構在本週總統宣布將在他的模因硬幣（$ trump）中為頂級投資者舉行私人晚餐，這導致了匿名投資的激增，這導致了Meme Coin的價值升起了近1億美元。

"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 wrote.

參議員寫道：“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。”

The senators' letter notes that the president's promise of access would likely violate federal ethics law, federal bribery statutes, and the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution.

參議員的信指出，總統的訪問承諾可能會違反聯邦道德法，聯邦賄賂法規和美國憲法的埃默爾條款。

Senators Schiff and Warren also note that the meme coin could be used by foreign actors to curry favor with the president using assets without public disclosure requisites.

席夫（Schiff）和沃倫（Warren）參議員還指出，模因硬幣可以由外國參與者使用，用總統使用資產而無需公開披露要求。

"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," the senators wrote.

參議員寫道：“這項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人和總統辦公室的肖像，以供個人經濟利益。”

Senator Schiff previously raised alarm over the president's meme coin when it was launched earlier this year.

參議員希夫（Schiff）於今年早些時候推出了總統的模因硬幣。

Dear Acting Director Greer,

親愛的代理導演格里爾，

We write to request an urgent inquiry regarding President Trump’s invitation for top investors in his meme coin, $TRUMP, to join him at an “intimate private dinner” and “private VIP reception,” which led to a subsequent surge in investment in the President’s digital asset that increased its value by approximately $100 million. 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.

我們寫信，要求對特朗普總統在他的模因硬幣$特朗普的邀請中進行緊急詢問，以與他一起參加“親密的私人晚餐”和“私人VIP接待”，這導致了總統數字資產投資的投資激增，這將其價值增加了​​約1億美元。這項最新行動引起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，包括外國國民和企業行為者，在聯邦行動中既有利益，同時親自富裕總統及其家人，從而將“付費”腐敗。

On April 23, 2025, the official website for President Trump’s meme coin, $TRUMP, announced a private gala dinner on May 22, 2025, for the top 220 holders of the asset at Trump National Golf Club Washington, D.C for an opportunity to “hear first-hand” from the President. The announcement additionally promised the top 25 investors a VIP reception with the President. Reporting indicates that one top investor, with a stake exceeding $13 million, is registered with a crypto exchange founded in China. Several investors, moreover, “have received funds from Binance, a crypto exchange that does not allow U.S. customers, suggesting that they may not be Americans.” This also comes on the heels of an announcement that the President’s family would launch its own stablecoin, USD1.

2025年4月23日，特朗普總統的模因硬幣的官方網站$特朗普宣布了2025年5月22日在特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部華盛頓特區的前220名持有人舉行的私人晚宴，以便有機會從總統那裡“聆聽第一手”。該公告還向總統提供了前25名投資者的VIP招待會。報告表明，一位高額投資者（超過1300萬美元）已在中國建立的加密交易所註冊。此外，幾位投資者“已經收到了Binance的資金，Binance是一種不允許我們客戶的加密交易所，表明他們可能不是美國人。”這也是在宣布總統家人將自己發行自己的穩定的USD1的緊隨其後。

Since its creation on the eve of President Trump’s inauguration, the $TRUMP meme coin has already generated at least $350 million in fees for entities tied to the President. His most recent attempt at conspicuous self-promotion and monetization of his office further enriches President Trump and his associates, as the value of his meme coin increased by over 60 percent immediately following the announcement.

自從特朗普總統就職典禮前夕創造以來，特朗普的模因硬幣已經為與總統綁定的實體產生了至少3.5億美元的費用。隨著他的模因硬幣的價值在宣布後立即增加了60％以上，他最近在他辦公室的顯著自我推廣和貨幣化的嘗試進一步加劇了他的同事。

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. Furthermore, President Trump’s announcement promises exclusive access to the presidency in exchange for significant investment in one of the President’s business ventures. In promising such access, this proposition may implicate several federal ethics laws and constitutional proibitions, including the federal bribery statute¹ and emoluments clauses of the U.S. Constitution. It also raises the troubling prospect that foreign actors are using the meme coin as a vector to buy influence with President Trump and his associates without needing to disclose their identities publicly.

這項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人和總統辦公室的肖像，以供個人經濟利益。此外，特朗普總統的宣布承諾將獲得總統職位的獨家訪問權，以換取對總統的一家商業企業的大量投資。在承諾這種訪問權限的過程中，該主張可能牽涉到幾項聯邦道德法律和憲法規定，包括《聯邦賄賂法》和《美國憲法》的埃默洛斯條款。這也提出了令人不安的前景，即外國演員正在使用模因硬幣作為向量與特朗普總統及其同事的影響，而無需公開披露其身份。

In light of these concerns, we request an urgent review by your office of President Trump’s April 23, 2025, announcement and related offer of exclusive access to the president to individuals who have significant financial investments in the $TRUMP meme coin or any other assets associated with the president or his family and any entities connected to them.

鑑於這些擔憂，我們要求您的辦公室對特朗普總統2025年4月23日的緊急審查，公告和相關的總統訪問總統訪問總統的獨家訪問權限，向在$ trump Meme Coin中擁有大量財務投資的個人或與總統或其家人以及與他們相關的任何實體有關的個人。

Furthermore, we request answers to the following questions by May 2, 2025:

此外，我們要求在2025年5月2日之前解決以下問題：

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.

美國人民應該得到一個堅定的保證，即沒有向最高出價者出售擔任總統，以換取總統自己的經濟利益。
