US Senator calls for Trump impeachment, cites memecoin dinner

Summary

Senator Jon Ossoff supports impeaching President Donald Trump, citing Trump's plan to host a private dinner for top holders of the Official Trump memecoin as an impeachable offense. Ossoff stated that selling access to the president for payments directly to him is unacceptable. He emphasized that impeachment is unlikely unless Democrats gain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections, as Republicans currently hold majorities in both chambers. The memecoin's website announced plans for an exclusive dinner at Trump's golf club, tracking top holders and requiring background checks for attendees. The TRUMP token's price increased by over 50% following the announcement. Legal experts express concerns about potential conflicts of interest related to Trump's cryptocurrency ventures, suggesting that personal financial benefits from his policies could constitute a conflict.
