$TRUMP Coin Buyers Promised Presidential Access: Congress Must Act

I am asking you to investigate President Trump’s promotion of the $TRUMP cryptocurrency, where buyers are being promised private dinners and other personal access to the President based on how much they invest. Selling access to the President raises serious legal and ethical concerns. It risks turning public office into a pay-to-play system, which is the opposite of how government is supposed to work (Washington Post, April 2025). It is also troubling that the Trump Organization controls around 80 percent of the $TRUMP coin supply, and that the coin has generated over $350 million in profits. After the President personally promoted it, the coin’s value soared, directly enriching entities tied to him (Reuters, April 2025). This creates a huge conflict of interest that cannot be ignored. There are also national security risks. Cryptocurrency transactions are hard to trace, and reports show that some of the top $TRUMP coin holders could be foreign nationals or foreign groups (Decrypt, April 2025). Selling access to American leaders through an unregulated currency opens the door to foreign influence at the highest levels of government. I urge you to push for a full investigation into this. Public office must not be for sale. The American people deserve to know that no one can buy influence over the President.
