Senator Ossoff Demands Trump Impeachment Over $TRUMP Meme Coin Scandal

Senator Jon Ossoff has called for impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump amid controversy surrounding the newly launched $TRUMP cryptocurrency. The scandal involves an alleged scheme offering top investors exclusive perks, including a private gala dinner at Trump National Golf Club NEAR Washington, D.C., in exchange for holding the token.

The event, set for May 22, promised tiered benefits: the top 220 holders would gain access to an "intimate private" dinner, while the top 25 would receive a VIP reception and a tour initially advertised as a "White House Tour" before public backlash forced a rebranding. At a Georgia town hall, Ossoff stated, "When a sitting president sells access for payments directly to him, it unequivocally meets the threshold for impeachment."

The incident underscores increasing scrutiny of cryptocurrency’s role in political fundraising, particularly with meme coins like $TRUMP blurring the lines between speculative assets and transactional influence.
