[Forbes] Reported that U.S. President Trump used the presidential seal podium at a private dinner for holders of the Meme coin TRUMP, potentially violating Title 18, Section 713 of the U.S. Code.
This law prohibits the use of the presidential seal in a manner that suggests government endorsement, with violators facing up to 6 months in prison or fines.
Legal experts point out that the presidential seal is reserved for official occasions, and previous presidents like Obama and Biden have not used this emblem in private commercial activities.
The White House has not responded to media inquiries regarding the legality of the seal's use.
