一些参议院共和党人对特朗普独家特朗普模因象征晚餐表示担忧

华盛顿 - 一些参议院共和党人对独家晚宴引起了担忧，白宫巡回赛总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）为他的特朗普模因象征提供了顶级投资者。

Some Senate Republicans are expressing concern over an exclusive dinner and White House tour that President Donald Trump is offering to the top investors in his $TRUMP meme token.

一些参议院共和党人对唐纳德·特朗普总统在他的特朗普模因代币中向顶级投资者提供的独家晚宴和白宫巡回演出表示关注。

“This is my president that we’re talking about, but I am willing to say that this gives me pause,” said Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., who has been spearheading a legislative push on cryptocurrency regulation in the Senate.

R-Wyo。参议员Cynthia Lummis说：“这是我正在谈论的总统，但我愿意说这会让我停顿。”

The official website for Trump’s meme coin announced last week that the top 220 holders of the coin are invited to an “intimate private dinner” with the president at his golf club outside of Washington, D.C., later this month. The top 25 investors will also receive an invitation to a “VIP White House Tour” the following day, according to the website. The $TRUMP meme coin surged more than 50% after the dinner news broke, boosting its total market value to $2.7 billion.

特朗普的模因硬币的官方网站上周宣布，该硬币的前220名持有人被邀请在本月晚些时候在华盛顿特区外的高尔夫俱乐部与总统一起参加“亲密的私人晚餐”。该网站称，第二天，前25名投资者还将收到“ VIP白宫之旅”的邀请。晚餐新闻破裂后，$特朗普的模因硬币飙升了50％以上，将其总市场价值提高到27亿美元。

The offer of access to the president for those who invest in an organization that funds Trump’s personal fortune has sparked scrutiny from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

为那些投资一个资助特朗普个人财富的组织的人提供了与总统的访问，这引发了过道双方的立法者的审查。

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who often bucks her party, expressed uneasiness about the event, though she noted she didn’t have all of the details.

R-Alaska参议员丽莎·默科夫斯基（Lisa Murkowski）经常屈服于她的聚会，对这次活动表示不安，尽管她指出自己没有所有细节。

“I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to charge people to come into the Capitol and take a tour.” Murkowski told NBC News on Thursday.

“我认为对我收取人们进入国会大厦并进行游览不合适。”默科夫斯基周四告诉NBC新闻。

While using untraceable crypto currency to pay for access to the president raised questions for some senators, there are no laws barring Trump and the organization from proceeding as planned.

尽管使用不可追踪的加密货币来支付与总统的访问付费，但没有法律禁止特朗普和组织按计划进行。

“He’s got to remember that he’s living there, but it’s the people’s house, right?” Murkowski added.

“他必须记住自己住在那儿，但这是人民的房子，对吗？”默科夫斯基添加了。

Lummis, a staunch ally of the president, said Wednesday in an interview that she thinks Congress needs to regulate standards around the use of digital assets like meme coins. Meme coins, often referred to as meme tokens, are a subset of digital assets that use blockchain technology and derive their value largely from internet culture rather than from an underlying utility or asset.

总统坚定的盟友卢米斯（Lummis）周三在一次采访中说，她认为国会需要规范使用Meme Coins等数字资产的标准。模因硬币（通常称为模因令牌）是使用区块链技术的数字资产的一部分，并主要来自互联网文化，而不是从基本的实用程序或资产中获得价值。

“This is the Wild West, and so when I hear things like this, my reaction is, we need to legislate so there are rules.” Lummis said.

“这是狂野的西部，因此，当我听到这样的事情时，我的反应是，我们需要立法，以便有规则。”卢米斯说。

The Wyoming senator said she’s open to working with her colleagues across the aisle on legislation to standardize rules around all digital assets for elected officials, including the president.

怀俄明州参议员说，她愿意与过道的同事一起在立法上合作，以对包括总统在内的当选官员（包括总统）的所有数字资产进行标准化。

“Even what may appear to be ‘cringey’ with regard to meme coins, it’s legal, and what we need to do is have a regulatory framework that makes this more clear, so we don’t have this Wild West scenario,” Lummis said.

卢米斯说：“即使是关于模因硬币的'cringey'，这是合法的，我们需要做的就是拥有一个更清楚的监管框架，因此我们没有这种狂野的西部场景。”

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said he wasn’t familiar with the intricacies surrounding crypto regulation and the president’s events, but said the concept of the dinner, “in abstract, is hard to understand” when asked Thursday if he was comfortable with the president’s events.

RN.C.参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）说，当周四被问及周四是否对总统的事件感到满意时，他对加密法规和总统事件的复杂性并不熟悉。

Still, Tillis said he would like to see more details.

尽管如此，蒂利斯仍然说他想查看更多细节。

“With all the target-rich environment for news, I just haven’t looked at it.” Tillis quipped.

“有了所有目标充满新闻的环境，我只是没有看过它。”蒂利斯打趣。

The White House did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment.

白宫没有回应NBC新闻的置评请求。

Lummis’ calls for new legislation come as the Senate is set to take up the GENIUS Act before they leave for the Memorial Day recess. The bipartisan legislation would establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins, and is one of the most significant crypto bills the Senate has taken up. The Senate Banking Committee voted last month, 18-6, to send the stablecoin legislation to the full Senate.

卢米斯（Lummis）呼吁新立法的呼吁，因为参议院将在阵亡将士纪念日休会前接受《天才法案》（Genius Act）。两党的立法将建立一个监管框架，为稳定者建立，并且是参议院采取的最重要的加密法案之一。参议院银行委员会上个月以18-6投票通过将稳定立法发送给整个参议院。

While a few Senate Republicans questioned the ethics around Trump’s dinner for his top investors, most of the caucus, like Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said they ultimately trust the president to work within the law. Several GOP senators said they hadn’t heard about the president’s plan.

虽然一些参议院共和党人质疑特朗普的最高投资者的伦理，但大多数核心小组，例如参议员约翰·霍文（RN.D.几位共和党参议员说，他们没有听说过总统的计划。

Trump’s move generated intense criticism from Senate Democrats. Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., requested an ethics probe into the dinner.

特朗普的举动引起了参议院民主党的强烈批评。参议院银行委员会的最高民主党人和D-Calif的Adam Schiff的Sens。ElizabethWarren要求对晚餐进行道德调查。

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

“这项最新行动提出了严重的道德和法律问题，包括特朗普总统和其他官员可能通过向个人和实体出售总统的机会，包括外国国民和企业行为者，在联邦行动中具有重大利益，同时个人富裕总统及其家人，从而涉及'付费'的腐败，包括外国国民和企业参与者，”参议员在信中写道。

A spokesperson for Schiff told NBC News they have not yet received a response.

Schiff的发言人告诉NBC News，他们尚未收到回应。

Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., took the pushback a step further and signaled support for impeaching Trump over the meme token dinner. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said that the meme token sale is a “violation

参议员乔恩·奥索夫（D-Ga。 DN.J.参议员Cory Booker说，模因销售是“违规的
