Private Dinner for Crypto Holders Sparks Impeachment Push Against Trump
At a town hall event in Georgia on April 25, Senator Jon Ossoff voiced strong support for impeaching President Donald Trump, criticizing the president’s involvement with a cryptocurrency project tied to personal financial gain.
Ossoff, who is campaigning for Senate reelection, argued that Trump’s plan to host a private dinner for top holders of his TRUMP memecoin clearly crosses ethical lines.
Referring to the dinner as “selling access,” Ossoff said such behavior constitutes an impeachable offense, pointing out that payments are effectively being made directly to the president. However, he acknowledged that any impeachment effort would likely stall unless Democrats regain control of Congress in 2026, given the current Republican majority.
The controversy stems from the TRUMP token’s announcement on April 23, which promised an exclusive dinner with Trump at his Washington, DC golf club for the 220 largest TRUMP coin holders.
Although the full guest list remains unclear, participants must pass a background check and meet eligibility criteria outlined by the project’s website. The announcement caused a spike of over 50% in the token’s price, according to CoinMarketCap.
The TRUMP team later denied claims that invitees needed to hold at least $300,000 worth of tokens, clarifying that only the active leaderboard rankings determine eligibility.
Meanwhile, legal experts have raised concerns about Trump’s growing ties to crypto ventures, warning that his financial interests in projects like the TRUMP memecoin and World Liberty Financial could create serious conflicts of interest, especially as he influences policies that impact the digital asset sector.
