Senator Cynthia Lummis and other Republicans have expressed concerns about former President Donald Trump's offer of a dinner and White House tour to top holders of his memecoin, TRUMP.
Lummis voiced her discomfort with the idea of charging people for access to the White House, while Senator Lisa Murkowski also criticized the plan.
Despite these concerns, Lummis supported Trump's backing of the BITCOIN Act, a proposal to create a strategic $BTC reserve. The launch of the $TRUMP token and its perks have sparked controversy, with some critics, like Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, calling for Trump's impeachment over allegations of "selling access." Speculation surrounds whether figures like Justin Sun and Elon Musk will attend the May 22 dinner.
