Democratic lawmakers are escalating scrutiny of former President Donald Trump’s engagement with the cryptocurrency sector, framing his upcoming meme coin gala as a potential conduit for foreign influence. Senators demand transparency on attendees of the Trump-themed token dinner, citing risks of undisclosed ties to sanctioned entities or adversarial governments.

The controversy highlights deepening political fractures around crypto’s role in policymaking. While the GENIUS Act demonstrates bipartisan crypto support, this event has become a lightning rod for critics. Trump’s promotion of his eponymous meme coin through high-dollar donor incentives now faces allegations of being a ’Mount Everest of corruption’ in Democratic rhetoric.
