Sens。AdamSchiff和Elizabeth Warren要求联邦道德监督者调查晚餐总统特朗普将参加

Sens。AdamSchiff（D-Calif。）和Elizabeth Warren（D-Mass。）周五要求联邦伦理监管机构调查晚餐总统特朗普将于下个月与他的Meme Coin中的顶级投资者一起参加。

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Friday asked a federal ethics watchdog to open an investigation into a planned dinner between President Trump and the top investors in his meme coin.

参议员亚当·希夫（D-Calif。）和参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（D-Mass。）周五要求联邦道德监督机构对特朗普总统和他的模因硬币中顶级投资者之间的计划晚宴进行调查。

The two senators requested that U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who is also serving as acting director of the Office of Government Ethics, open a probe into the dinner, which prompted a significant surge in the price of the president’s token, $TRUMP.

两位参议员要求美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔（Jamieson Greer）也担任政府道德办公室的代理主任，对晚餐进行了调查，这促使总统代币（特朗普$ trump）的价格大幅提高。

“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,” Schiff and Warren wrote in the request.

“这项最新的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或实体出售总统的机会来涉及'付费''付费'的腐败，包括外国国民和公司行为者在联邦行动中具有既得利益，同时个人丰富了总统及其家人，” Schiff和Warren在要求中写道。

The official website for $TRUMP announced Wednesday that the president would attend the “intimate private dinner” with the top 220 holders of his meme coin at his golf club near Washington.

特朗普$ $的官方网站周三宣布，总统将参加他在华盛顿附近的高尔夫俱乐部的前220个持有人的“亲密私人晚餐”。

The top 25 investors will also receive an invitation to an “exclusive” reception with Trump and a “special” White House tour.

前25名投资者还将收到与特朗普和“特别”白宫巡回演唱会的“独家”招待会的邀请。

Immediately after the announcement, the price of $TRUMP jumped nearly 60 percent, rising from around $9 to almost $15. The token currently sits at about $14.5.

公告后，特朗普的价格立即上涨了近60％，从9美元左右上升到近15美元。该令牌目前的价格约为14.5美元。

The news of the dinner boosted the value of crypto wallets owned by a firm associated with the Trump Organization by about $100 million, according to an estimate from The Washington Post.

根据《华盛顿邮报》的估计，晚餐的消息提高了与特朗普组织相关的公司拥有的加密钱包的价值约1亿美元。

Schiff and Warren suggested the move could implicate federal ethics laws, as well as laws barring federal officials from taking bribes or profiting from public office. They also warned it could be used by foreign actors to anonymously buy influence with the president.

Schiff和Warren建议此举可能暗示联邦道德法，以及禁止联邦官员受贿赂或从公职中获利的法律。他们还警告说，外国演员可以使用匿名与总统购买影响力。

“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,” they added.

他们补充说：“这一新计划证明了特朗普总统继续努力利用自己的名字和肖像作为总统以及他的家庭和总统办公室的肖像，以供个人经济利益。”

The senators asked Greer whether the ethics office has provided guidance about digital assets, such as meme coins.

参议员问格里尔，道德办公室是否已提供有关数字资产的指导，例如Meme Coins。

They are also seeking information about what mechanisms exist to determine whether the president is exchanging access for investment, as well as what safeguards are in place to block certain individuals, such as foreign actors, from making investments to gain influence.

他们还在寻求有关存在哪些机制来确定总统是否正在交换投资访问以及阻碍某些个人（例如外国参与者）的保障措施的信息，从进行投资来获得影响力。

“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 said.

参议员说：“美国人民值得坚定的保证，即没有向最高出价者出售担任总统的机会，以换取总统自己的经济利益。”

Trump launched his meme coin shortly before his inauguration. The price of $TRUMP initially shot up to $70 before falling in the ensuing months.

特朗普在就职典礼前不久发起了他的模因硬币。特朗普的价格最初在随后的几个月中跌倒之前最高$ 70。

The president, who has vowed to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet,” has fully embraced the industry in his second term. In his first few months in office, he has named numerous crypto-friendly candidates to key positions in the administration and hosted industry leaders at the White House.

总统发誓要使美国成为“地球的加密首都”，他在第二任期内完全接受了该行业。在任职的头几个月中，他命名了许多对加密货币友好的候选人，以担任政府的关键职位，并在白宫接待了行业领导人。

However, Trump’s personal foray into crypto has drawn scrutiny. His meme coin launch received a mixed response from the industry, as some worried it could reflect negatively on his efforts to boost digital assets.

但是，特朗普对加密货币的个人尝试受到了审查。他的模因硬币的发布得到了行业的不同回应，因为有些人担心它会对他促进数字资产的努力产生负面的反映。

In recent months, the president and his family have continued to expand their crypto footprint.

近几个月来，总统及其家人继续扩大加密货币的占地面积。

World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture Trump launched with his sons last fall, recently announced plans to launch a stablecoin. Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, also unveiled a partnership with Crypto.com to launch several exchange traded funds.

世界自由金融，去年秋天，特朗普的加密货币特朗普与他的儿子们发起了新的计划。 Truth Social的母公司特朗普媒体和技术集团也与Crypto.com建立了合作伙伴关系，以启动几家交易所交易基金。
