A group of Democratic senators held an unexpected press conference this week to accuse former President Donald Trump of peddling political influence through an exclusive dinner with investors in his namesake meme coin.

一群民主黨參議員本週舉行了一次意想不到的新聞發布會，以指責前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）通過與投資者在同名模因硬幣中的獨家晚宴來兜售政治影響力。

The event, set for Thursday night, is expected to feature the largest holders of the "TRUMP" token. However, the lack of an official list of attendees has sparked concerns among members of Congress.

該活動定於週四晚上，預計將以“特朗普”代幣的最大持有人為特色。但是，缺乏正式的與會者名單引發了國會議員的關注。

Senator Chris Murphy was among the most vocal, claiming that "the majority of the attendees tonight will be foreign nationals," posing national security risks, with possible ties to oligarchs, sanctioned individuals and even groups hostile to the U.S. He urged the immediate release of the guests' names.

參議員克里斯·墨菲（Chris Murphy）是最具聲音的人之一，他聲稱“今晚的大多數與會者將是外國國民”，構成了國家安全風險，可能與寡頭，受批准的個人甚至對美國敵對的團體有聯繫，他敦促立即釋放客人的名字。

“Donald Trump's dinner is an orgy of corruption. That's what this is all about. We are here today to talk about exactly one topic: corruption. . . Donald Trump is using the presidency of the United States to make himself rich through crypto.”

“唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的晚餐是腐敗的狂歡。這就是全部。

Along with Murphy, other Democratic figures such as Elizabeth Warren, Jeff Merkley and Richard Blumenthal, as well as Representative Sam Riccardo, expressed strong opposition to what they called “orgies of corruption” linked to cryptocurrencies.

與墨菲（Murphy）一起，其他民主黨人物，例如伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren），傑夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）和理查德·布魯門塔爾（Richard Blumenthal）以及代表薩姆·里卡多（Sam Riccardo），對他們所謂的“腐敗狂歡”與加密貨幣有關。

Warren stressed that the dinner would be “a private celebration for the major buyers of Trump’s meme coin,” noting that figures linked to the crypto sector now hold strategic positions in the government.

沃倫（Warren）強調，晚餐將是“對特朗普的模因硬幣的主要買家進行私人慶祝活動”，並指出與加密貨幣部門有關的數字現在在政府中擔任戰略立場。

The senator specifically mentioned Justin Sun, founder of Tron, who was involved in Trump's cryptocurrency initiatives shortly after the SEC filed a lawsuit against his company. She also cited connections with names such as Howard Lutnick and David Sacks, who are linked to the cryptocurrency industry and have influence in the current Republican administration.

這位參議員特別提到了特隆的創始人賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），他在SEC向他的公司提起訴訟後不久就參與了特朗普的加密貨幣計劃。她還引用了與霍華德·盧特尼克（Howard Lutnick）和戴維·薩克斯（David Sacks）等名稱的聯繫，他們與加密貨幣行業有聯繫，並在現任共和黨政府中有影響。

Despite these allegations, the Democratic Party is divided on its relationship with cryptocurrencies. The recent passage of the GENIUS Act was supported by 16 Democratic senators, revealing a pro-crypto wing within the party.

儘管有這些指控，民主黨仍在與加密貨幣的關係上分歧。 《天才法案》最近通過了16名民主黨參議員的支持，揭示了該黨內部的一個親克萊托派。

Senator Blumenthal stressed that those involved in the TRUMP token want more than symbolic rewards. According to him, many of these investors seek direct access to political power and defend their own interests in exchange for financial support, which could violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

布魯門塔爾參議員強調，參與特朗普代幣的人想要的不僅僅是像徵性的回報。據他說，這些投資者中的許多人都尋求直接獲得政治權力並捍衛自己的利益以換取財政支持，這可能違反了憲法的埃默爾條款。
