According to CNBC, two US senators, Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren, sent a letter to the US Government Ethics Office on Friday requesting an investigation into Trump to determine whether his behavior of providing a private dinner to TRUMP token investors violated federal ethical standards. Two senators stated that after the announcement of the "TRUMP dinner", the market value of Meme coin TRUMP surged by over $100 million, raising concerns about Trump and his family using their influence for personal gain. However, analysis suggests that as both the White House and the House of Representatives are controlled by Republicans and the ethics director is appointed by the President, Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren's requests are likely to go unanswered. As of now, the White House has not responded to requests for comment on this matter, and the US Government Ethics Office has refused to comment.
Note: The US Government Ethics Office is an internal government agency established under the US Government Ethics Act, with the main purpose of making official property declarations and disclosures more reasonable and transparent. The functions include being responsible for formulating enforcement measures for the declaration and disclosure of officials' property, and jointly investigating officials who violate ethical regulations with the Attorney General (Minister of Justice).
