Democrats say they "betrayed America" before Trump's memecoin party
According to the news from the chain, Democratic lawmakers asked President Trump to disclose the list of people attending a dinner that was held before the event hosted by the president for his top memecoin holders. On Thursday, Democrats including Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal held a press conference to criticize the event, which will be held at Trump's private golf club later. Warren pointed out that the American people do not know who is buying the president's entry pass or what they will get in return. Trump will entertain the top 220 holders of his memecoin, which was launched a few days before his inauguration, on Thursday night. In addition, a stablecoin recently launched by World Liberty Financial, which Trump supports, has also been criticized. The participation fee of the party ranges from $55,000 to $37.7 million. Although many participants are anonymous, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun said on X that he will attend. Blumenthal accused the Trump administration of concealing the invitation list for the party and said that some attendees may be from foreign governments, which is a betrayal of trust for the American people. When asked at a news conference whether the list of attendees would be released, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president was attending the party on his own time and it was not a White House event. Earlier in the day, top Democratic lawmaker Maxine Waters introduced a bill to end what she called "crypto corruption." Cryptocurrency trading platform Bitget is a founding limited partner of Foresight Ventures. The Block continues to operate independently to provide objective, influential and timely information about the crypto industry, and the TRUMP token traded more than $2 billion on Thursday.
