U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff has voiced support for impeaching former President Donald Trump, citing Trump’s plan to host a private dinner for top holders of the Official Trump memecoin. During a town hall on April 25, Ossoff, a Democrat, stated, “I saw just 48 hours ago, he is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin.” He added that when the president sells access through such means, it constitutes an impeachable offense. Ossoff emphasized his strong backing for impeachment proceedings but noted it is unlikely unless the Democratic Party regains control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. Currently, Trump’s Republican Party holds majorities in both the House and Senate. The Official Trump memecoin (TRUMP) announced plans for an exclusive dinner at Trump’s Washington, DC golf club for the top 220 TRUMP holders. This announcement has led to a more than 50% increase in the token’s price. Attendees must pass a background check and cannot bring additional guests. Legal experts have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest regarding Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures.
