Top House Democrat opens probe into Trump’s memecoin investor dinner

A top House Democrat has launched an inquiry into Trump’s lucrative meme coin venture, questioning whether foreign money flowed into the president’s pockets. U.S. President Donald Trump is once again at the center of controversy as a top House Democrat demands answers about a private dinner he hosted for major investors in his Official Trump ( TRUMP ) memecoin, raising fresh questions about ethics and potential foreign influence.

Sun has a history of legal trouble as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accused him of market manipulation in 2023, though the case stalled after Trump took office. The White House insists there’s no conflict. Read more: Who are the mystery guests invited to Trump’s meme coin dinner party?
