唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统最近与Meme Coin项目的支持者在法律审查中与支持Meme Coin项目的支持者共进晚餐

特朗普在周四晚上在他位于弗吉尼亚州斯特林的私人高尔夫俱乐部举行的独家备受瞩目的晚宴上，在他的个人$特朗普模因硬币中接待了200多名顶级投资者。

President Donald Trump's recent dinner with backers of a meme coin project is now under legal scrutiny, with an attorney suggesting the president may have violated federal law.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统最近与Meme Coin项目的支持者共进晚宴，现在正在接受法律审查，律师暗示总统可能违反了联邦法律。

More than 200 top investors in Trump's personal $TRUMP meme coin gathered on Thursday night for an exclusive, high-profile dinner at the president's private golf club in Sterling, Virginia.

周四晚上，特朗普个人$ trump Meme Coin的200多名顶级投资者聚集在弗吉尼亚州斯特林的总统私人高尔夫俱乐部，共有备受瞩目的晚宴。

The coin, which launched in January 2025, has a current value of over $3 billion. The event served as a reward for the largest investors in his cryptocurrency venture, a move that has raised eyebrows even among ardent MAGA fans.

该硬币于2025年1月推出，目前价值超过30亿美元。该活动为他的加密货币中最大的投资者提供了奖励，即使在Ardent Maga粉丝中，此举也引起了人们的关注。

Email correspondence with the White House for comment is still pending.

与白宫的电子邮件通信仍在审理中。

The president's ownership of this cryptocurrency has been a subject of interest among analysts, who see it as presenting a potential conflict of interest in the context of Trump's broader support for the cryptocurrency industry.

总统对这种加密货币的所有权一直是分析师中的一个关注主题，他们认为这是在特朗普对加密货币行业的广泛支持的背景下呈现潜在的利益冲突。

"The country is doing really well. We have no inflation. Costs are way down. Oil was just at $1.99, $1.98 a gallon, which we haven't seen in years," Trump told guests in a video recorded at the event.

特朗普在活动中录制的视频中对访客说：“这个国家的状况非常好。我们没有通货膨胀。费用降低了。石油的价格仅为1.99美元，每年从未见过的每加仑1.98美元。”

However, California public defender and former judge pro tem Tracey Beryl Gallagher pointed out on X that Trump's remarks may have crossed a legal line.

但是，加利福尼亚州的公共辩护人和前法官Pro Tracey Beryl Gallagher在X上指出，特朗普的言论可能已经越过法律界限。

"He is talking behind a podium bearing the Presidential Seal. The Presidential Seal is governed by strict regulations under federal law, primarily 18 U.S.C. § 713 and Executive Order 11649," Gallagher wrote.

加拉格尔写道：“他在带有总统印章的领奖台后面讲话。总统印章受联邦法律严格的法规管辖，主要是1813年第713条和行政命令11649。”

Those rules limit the seal's use to "official government purposes" to preserve its symbolic integrity, she explained.

她解释说，这些规则限制了印章用于“官方政府目的”来维护其象征性诚信。

"Using the seal at a personal, for-profit event like a money-making speaking engagement or private fundraiser would likely violate these regulations, as it could imply official government endorsement of a private activity," Gallagher noted. "The law prohibits using the seal in a manner that suggests government approval or affiliation for non-official events."

加拉格尔指出：“在个人营利性活动中使用印章，例如赚钱的演讲参与或私人筹款活动，可能会违反这些法规，这可能意味着政府官方认可私人活动。” “该法律禁止使用印章的方式建议政府批准或隶属于非官方事件。”

She further elaborated that misuse of government insignia can lead to penalties, as highlighted in the 1995 case United States v. Sindel. While some exceptions exist for ceremonial or educational uses, such as replicas at presidential libraries, "personal financial gain doesn't qualify," Gallagher added.

她进一步阐述了滥用政府徽章会导致处罚，正如1995年美国案美国诉辛德尔案中所强调的那样。 Gallagher补充说，虽然仪式或教育用途存在一些例外，例如总统图书馆的复制品，但“个人经济收益不合格”。

Since the beginning of his second term, Trump has been openly promoting cryptocurrency schemes run by his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., which are now a major source of income for the president's family.

自第二任期开始以来，特朗普一直在他的儿子埃里克（Eric）和小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）公开促进加密货币计划，这些计划如今已成为总统家人的主要收入来源。

In April, a website promoting $TRUMP invited the top 220 holders of the meme coin to a private dinner with the president, where they also received an exclusive reception and a VIP tour the following day.

4月，宣传特朗普$的网站邀请了模因硬币的前220名持有人与总统共进私人晚餐，他们在第二天还获得了独家招待会和VIP之旅。

This invitation led to a surge in the value of $TRUMP by over 50 percent, according to CoinMarketCap, while the Trump administration has taken a pro-crypto stance, rolling back Biden-era regulation of the industry and establishing a bitcoin reserve.

根据CoinMarketCap的数据，这项邀请导致$特朗普的价值增加了​​50％以上，而特朗普政府采取了亲克莱托普的立场，撤消了拜登时代对行业的监管并建立了比特币储备。

However, such actions have raised concerns about Trump simultaneously promoting and profiting from his personal cryptocurrency, and whether his policy positions are being influenced by his desire for personal financial gain.

但是，这种行动引起了人们对特朗普同时从个人的加密货币中促进和获利的担忧，以及他的政策立场是否受到他对个人经济利益的渴望的影响。

In response to these concerns, Senators Jeff Merkley and Chuck Schumer have introduced legislation that would prohibit senior executive branch officials and their families from proflicting from cryptocurrencies.

为了应对这些问题，参议员杰夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）和查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）提出了立法，该立法将禁止高级行政部门官员及其家人散布加密货币。

Lawmakers and ethics experts have also criticized Trump's decision to host yesterday's dinner.

议员和道德专家还批评了特朗普决定主持昨天晚餐的决定。

"What's happening tonight at Trump's golf course…is in effect, putting a 'For Sale' sign on the White House. It's auctioning off access," Senator Richard Blumenthal said during a press call organized by Accountable.US, a nonpartisan watchdog group in the crypto space.

参议员Richard Blumenthal参议员说：“今晚在特朗普的高尔夫球场上发生了什么……实际上是在白宫上放了一个'待售的标志。这是在拍卖的访问。”

Daniel Weiner, the director for elections and government at the Brennan Center for Justice, further elaborated on the unusual nature of the event.

布伦南司法中心选举和政府主任丹尼尔·韦纳（Daniel Weiner）进一步阐述了该活动的异常性质。

"It's completely unprecedented to have a United States president attending a dinner like this, where you have wealthy investors in a business that he owns who can pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for access to the president," Weiner told Scripps News. "Let's be clear, of course, presidents do — other presidents and this president — have had fundraisers for their campaigns and lavish dinners and the like. But to have it literally be for a business that's essentially putting money into the president's family's pocket — that's something new and unprecedented and, I think a lot of Americans would say, pretty troubling."

Weiner告诉Scripps News：“让一位美国总统参加这样的晚宴是前所未有的，您拥有一家富裕的投资者，他拥有的企业可以支付数十万甚至数百万美元的总统。” “当然，让总统做的 - 其他总统和这位总统 - 已经为他们的竞选活动和豪华的晚餐等提供了筹款活动。但是，从字面上看，这实际上是为了将钱投入总统家人的口袋里的企业，这是一个新的和前所未有的 - 我认为很多美国人会说，很多人会说，很麻烦。”

Representatives Sean Casten and Adam Smith have also called for a Department of Justice investigation into the event, citing concerns over foreign influence and potential violations of the Emoluments Clause. They also highlighted that the top 25 investors were promised a private tour of the White House, suggesting an inappropriate intertwining of personal business interests with official government functions.

代表肖恩·卡斯滕（Sean Casten）和亚当·史密斯（Adam Smith）还呼吁对这一事件进行调查，理由是对外国影响力和潜在侵犯埃默尔条款的行为。他们还强调说，前25名投资者被保证对白宫进行私人之旅，这表明与官方政府职能相互交织。

Ethics watchdogs have also joined in the criticism, with Donald Sherman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington describing the event as "one

道德监管机构也加入了批评，华盛顿的责任和道德公民的唐纳德·谢尔曼（Donald Sherman）将这一事件描述为“一个
