United States Senator Jon Ossoff called for Donald Trump’s impeachment during an April 25 town hall meeting in Georgia.
He pointed to the President’s plan to host a private dinner for top TRUMP holders as a major concern.
“I mean, I saw just 48 hours ago, he is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin,”
said Ossoff, according to NBC News.
“When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense,”
Ossoff said.
During the event, the Senator confirmed he “strongly” supports Trump impeachment efforts.
However, he noted that such action would likely depend on the Democratic Party winning back Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.
At the moment, Trump’s Republican Party controls both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Trump Memecoin Dinner Details Raise New Conflict Concerns
The controversy began after the Official Trump memecoin team announced a private dinner for top TRUMP holders on April 23.
The event will take place at Trump’s Washington, DC golf club and invites the top 220 wallets holding the TRUMP token.
Applicants must pass a background check, cannot be from a Know Your Customer (KYC) watchlist country, and cannot bring guests.
The dinner’s announcement coincided with a more than 50% price increase for the TRUMP token, according to TradingView.
The leaderboard showing top TRUMP holders was published online. However, the full guest list remains undisclosed.
The memecoin’s website also linked to a registration page for eligible participants.
Following rumors that attendees needed at least $300,000 worth of TRUMP tokens, the TRUMP coin team issued a clarification on April 25.
“People have been incorrectly quoting #220 on the block explorer as the cutoff. That’s wrong because it includes things like locked tokens, exchanges, market makers, and those who are not participating. Instead, you should only be going off the leaderboard,”
they wrote.
Trump’s Crypto Ventures Intensify Scrutiny Amid Impeachment Push
Along with the TRUMP memecoin, Trump is also tied to a decentralized finance platform called World Liberty Financial.
Legal professionals say that his connections to these projects bring new conflict risks as they involve personal financial interests.
Meanwhile, the TRUMP coin continued its upward movement following the dinner announcement, placing more attention on the relationship between presidential actions and crypto market activities.
The Trump memecoin dinner plans, the rise in TRUMP token value, and the impeachment calls from Senator Jon Ossoff now converge in one of the first major political clashes involving cryptocurrency assets tied directly to a sitting U.S. president.
