Senator Asks for Trump Impeachment Over Private Dinner with Top Meme Coin Holders

Senator Asks for Trump Impeachment Over Private Dinner with Top Meme Coin Holders

Ossoff criticized the president for what he described as "selling access" to his office.

U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff has voiced strong support for impeaching President Donald Trump, following revelations about a planned private dinner with top holders of the Official Trump meme coin.

Speaking at a town hall in Georgia on April 25, Ossoff criticized the president for what he described as “selling access” to his office.

“I saw just 48 hours ago, he is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin,” Ossoff said, according to NBC News .

“When the sitting president of the United States is effectively accepting payments for access, that clearly qualifies as an impeachable offense.”

Senator Backs Trump Impeachment but Says Action Unlikely Without Democrat Majority

While Ossoff emphasized his firm backing for impeachment proceedings, he acknowledged that any such action would face significant hurdles unless Democrats regain control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.

Currently, Republicans hold the majority in both chambers.

The controversy stems from an April 23 announcement on the Official Trump memecoin website, which revealed plans for an exclusive dinner hosted by President Trump at his Washington, D.C. golf club.

The event is reserved for the top 220 TRUMP token holders, with the website posting a public leaderboard and registration details.

Following the announcement, the TRUMP token surged over 50%, according to CoinMarketCap.

Applicants for the dinner must pass a background check and cannot be from countries flagged under Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. Additionally, no guests are permitted.

$TRUMP Token Team Denies $300K Requirement for Dinner with President

In a statement posted on April 24, the $TRUMP token team clarified that holders do not need to spend $300,000 to qualify for its “Dinner with President Trump” contest.

The team said that entry includes exchange and locked holdings not participating in the contest.

Eligibility is determined solely by registered users on the official leaderboard, which ranks time-weighted $TRUMP balances throughout the competition.

“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,” the team said.

The project emphasized that all participants must register to be counted. As of the announcement, the 220th-ranked participant held just over $400 worth of tokens.

The leaderboard is available at trumpdinner.gettrumpmemes.com.

Tokens from the cliff unlock and daily distributions will remain locked for an additional 90 days, the team said, extending past the competition period.
