#特朗普比特币金库 President Donald Trump delivered a speech at a private event for the top investors in his $TRUMP meme coin while standing at a podium adorned with the official presidential seal, an act that could violate federal law and has sparked widespread attention.
The event took place on Thursday at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, where Trump spoke to 220 investors involved in his cryptocurrency project.
Under U.S. law, the presidential seal cannot be used in any way that suggests government approval or sponsorship. Violators may face fines or up to six months in prison.
Trump arrived at the club by military helicopter, praising the attendees during his speech and criticizing the Biden administration's stance on cryptocurrency.
When asked about potential conflicts of interest, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the president's involvement was a personal matter. She told reporters, "This is not a White House dinner, nor is it an event held at the White House."
