US Senators Keep a Close Eye on 'Token Dinner' Accusing Trump of Crossing Ethical Boundaries

On local time this Friday, US Democratic Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren jointly sent a letter to the US Office of Government Ethics, demanding a thorough investigation into whether Trump is profiting by offering private dinner seats to investors of his eponymous cryptocurrency 'TRUMP'.

The incident arose after the exposure of the 'TRUMP Dinner' plan, which saw the market value of this meme coin surge by over $100 million in just 24 hours. The two senators publicly questioned whether this move might involve using political influence for family profit, and could even constitute 'monetization of power'. However, analysts pointed out that the current political landscape in the US shows a complete Republican control—both the White House and both houses of Congress are held by the party, and the head of the ethics office is directly appointed by the president, making it likely that the Democratic senators' investigation request may fall into 'political cold treatment'. As of now, neither the White House nor the ethics office has made any public response to this matter.
