Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) warned that the meme coin gala offers “exclusive access to the presidency in exchange for significant investment in one of the President’s business ventures.”

“This isn’t about donuts. It’s about the presidency of the United States,” they said in a letter to the president.

“The Trump family appears to be using crypto to personally profit while legislation that could benefit them advances in the Senate,” the lawmakers said.

立法者说：“特朗普家族似乎正在利用加密货币亲自获利，而这可能使他们在参议院进步的立法受益。”

该组织的总裁莎拉·布林乔尔夫森（Sarah Brynjolffson）说：“经过18个月的大规模虚张声势竞选融资规范，特朗普和他的亲戚们以这个公然的付费计划使自己充实并保持竞选活动的势头降低了新的低落。”

参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基（Lisa Murkowski）（R-Alaska）对这一事件表示不安，并指出特朗普住在白宫时，“这是人民之家。”

Lummis said Congress needs to regulate standards around using digital assets like meme coins. Senate Democrats have been more critical, with Warren and Schiff expressing “grave ethics and legal concerns” in a letter addressing the dinner. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) suggested the potential for impeachment over the meme coin dinner, while Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) called it a “violation of the Constitution.”

卢米斯说，国会需要使用模因硬币等数字资产来规范标准。参议院民主党人在一封关于晚餐的信中表达了“严重的道德和法律关注”，参议院民主党人更为批评。参议员乔恩·奥索夫（Jon Ossoff）（D-ga。）建议对模因硬币晚宴进行弹each的潜力，而参议员科里·布克（Cory Booker）（DN.J.）称其为“违反宪法”。
