Democrats Demand “Unredacted Log” of Attendees at $TRUMP Meme Coin Dinner

Senate Democrats are preparing to scrutinize Donald Trump’s private dinner for supporters of his $TRUMP meme coin. Scheduled to occur a few weeks after the midterm elections at the president’s Washington, D.C. golf club, the event has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest given Trump’s financial interest in the cryptocurrency.

A group of eight lawmakers, spearheaded by Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), sent a letter to the White House on Thursday requesting more details on the exclusive gathering, which has been marketed as “the most exclusive dinner in the world.” The coin’s website claims the top 185 holders of $TRUMP will receive invitations, with the top 29 invited to a special VIP reception.

While the website states there will be no private meetings with the president and no gifts accepted, the letter from Democrats highlights eight demands, with the most pressing being a request for a full unredacted log of all attendees—including their corporate and foreign affiliations—within ten days post-event. The White House has yet to respond to the lawmakers’ inquiries.

The meme coin’s price has plummeted from $74 at its launch in January to about $1.75, suggesting that the majority of its nearly 1 million investors have lost around $3.8 billion. Despite this, the coin saw widespread purchases shortly before Trump’s second inauguration. This isn’t Trump’s first foray into leveraging his presidential role for personal gain; two previous exclusive events at Mar-a-Lago and the same Virginia golf club have taken place.

The coin’s creators, who have a licensing agreement with Trump, have also organized contests offering access to exclusive hospitality at global sporting events. Democrats’ demand for transparency regarding the event’s attendees may become increasingly significant if they gain control of Congress next month, as the investigation could gain momentum under Democratic control.
