According to Cointelegraph, 35 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have called on the Justice Department to investigate Donald Trump's May 22 dinner for top memecoin investors, citing concerns about "foreign influence on U.S. policy decisions" and "potential corruption and emoluments clause violations." In a letter to the Justice Department, lawmakers asked Edward Sullivan, acting director of the Public Integrity Division, to launch an investigation into the dinner to determine whether federal bribery statutes or the foreign emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution were violated. According to Bloomberg, most of the people attending the dinner are likely to be foreign citizens. U.S. law prohibits foreigners from donating to U.S. political campaigns. Lawmakers said the $TRUMP memecoin and its promotion of a dinner that promised exclusive access to the president opened the door for foreign governments to buy influence over the president without disclosing their identities.
