公民呼吁对特朗普晋升的调查

政府监管机构集团公民已向司法部和政府道德办公室提出了正式申诉，唐纳德·特朗普总统推出了梅米硬币。

Government watchdog group Public Citizen has filed a formal complaint with the Department of Justice and the Office of Government Ethics regarding President Donald Trump’s launch of meme coins.

政府监管机构集团公民已向司法部和政府道德办公室提出了正式申诉，唐纳德·特朗普总统推出了梅米硬币。

The group is urging an investigation into whether Trump violated federal laws by promoting and soliciting money for his Official Trump meme coin.

该组织正在敦促调查特朗普是​​否通过促进和向其官方特朗普模因硬币征收金钱来违反联邦法律。

The complaint, submitted on Wednesday, cites social media posts from Trump on both X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social. According to the submission, the US president used these platforms to promote the TRUMP coin and encouraged supporters to send money.

投诉于周三提交的投诉引用了特朗普在X（以前为Twitter）和真相社会上的社交媒体帖子。根据提交，美国总统使用这些平台来宣传特朗普硬币，并鼓励支持者汇款。

Further, Public Citizen alleges these posts were re-shared on January 20 and January 21, shortly after Trump was inaugurated. The group argues that this constitutes a potential violation of federal laws prohibiting the president from soliciting personal gifts.

此外，公民称这些职位于1月20日和1月21日重新共享，即特朗普开幕后不久。该组织认为，这构成了禁止总统征求个人礼物的可能违反联邦法律的行为。

“A president soliciting money from the general public for his personal enrichment would be a reprehensible abuse of the presidency. The Department of Justice and Office of Government Ethics owe it to the American people to thoroughly investigate whether Donald Trump’s solicitation is in violation of the law, and, if it is, take appropriate action to stop it,” an excerpt in the report read, citing Bartlett Naylor, a financial services advocate at Public Citizen.

“总统从公众的个人充实中向公众征收资金将是对总统职位的虐待。司法部和政府伦理办公室归功于美国人民，以彻底调查唐纳德·特朗普的招标是否违反了法律，如果有适当的行动来制止它。”援引公共公民的金融服务倡导者Bartlett Naylor。

The complaint also calls out Trump’s official website for the meme coin for stating that contributions to the project are purely in exchange for a digital receipt. According to the advocacy group, this suggests that the money received is not tied to any tangible product or service.

投诉还呼吁特朗普的官方网站凭借《模因硬币》，以指出对该项目的贡献纯粹是为了换取数字收据。根据倡导组织的说法，这表明收到的钱与任何有形的产品或服务无关。

Public citizens are concerned that the funds collected may directly benefit Trump, potentially breaching federal ethics laws. Additionally, the complaint raises constitutional concerns.

公民担心收集的资金可能会直接受益于特朗普，并可能违反联邦道德法。此外，投诉引发了宪法问题。

Notably, the US Constitution forbids any president from accepting money or items of value from foreign sources. Given crypto transactions’ decentralized and anonymous nature, it isn’t easy to ascertain whether foreign state actors are purchasing Trump’s meme coin.

值得注意的是，美国宪法禁止任何总统接受外国资源的金钱或有价值的物品。鉴于加密交易的分散和匿名性质，不容易确定外国参与者是否正在购买特朗普的模因硬币。

According to the complaint, this creates possible national security and foreign policy risks.

根据投诉，这会产生可能的国家安全和外交政策风险。

The latest complaint follows mounting scrutiny over Trump-affiliated cryptocurrencies. Two weeks ago, Senator Elizabeth Warren called for federal scrutiny of the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins. As BeInCrypto reported, she warned of potential regulatory and ethical violations.

最新的投诉是在对特朗普相关的加密货币进行审查之后。两周前，参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）呼吁对特朗普和梅拉尼亚模因硬币进行联邦审查。正如Beincrypto报道的那样，她警告说，潜在的监管和道德违规行为。

Around the same time, Democrats demanded an ethics probe into Trump’s involvement in meme coin-related financial dealings. They cited concerns about his association with World Liberty Financial.

大约在同一时间，民主党人要求对特朗普参与与模因硬币相关的财务交易进行调查。他们引用了他与世界自由金融的联系的担忧。

“The expanding scope of President Trump—and by extension The Trump Organization’s—financial entanglements and quid pro quo promises are troubling,” wrote US Representative Gerald Connolly.

美国代表杰拉尔德·康诺利（Gerald Connolly）写道：“特朗普总统的范围不断扩大，并扩大了特朗普组织的范围和努力承诺令人不安。”

Despite these growing concerns, Trump recently denied knowledge of the meme coin. However, the denial came amid significant market fluctuations in the coin’s value, adding further speculation about his level of involvement.

尽管存在这些越来越多的担忧，但特朗普最近否认了对模因硬币的了解。但是，由于硬币的价值发生了重大的市场波动，这种否认是对他的参与程度的进一步猜测。

Nevertheless, public interest in the TRUMP meme coin has surged. A recent survey found that over 40% of TRUMP meme coin holders are first-time investors, illustrating the coin’s strong appeal among inexperienced traders. At the same time, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Trump’s DeFi venture, has experienced a dramatic rise in token sales following the launch of the TRUMP meme coin.

然而，公众对特朗普模因硬币的兴趣激增。最近的一项调查发现，超过40％的特朗普模因硬币持有人是首次投资者，这说明了硬币在经验不足的商人中的强烈吸引力。同时，特朗普的Defi Venture World Liberty Financial（WLFI）在Trump Meme Coin推出后，令牌销售的急剧上升。

Further analysis of blockchain transactions has also revealed concerning centralization issues. A recent Chainalysis report found that 94% of TRUMP and MELANIA tokens are held by just 40 wallets. This raises questions about potential price manipulation and insider advantages.

对区块链交易的进一步分析也揭示了有关集中化问题的进一步分析。最近的一份链分析报告发现，只有40个钱包持有特朗普和梅拉尼亚代币的94％。这引发了有关潜在价格操纵和内部优势的疑问。

Beyond ethical and regulatory concerns, Trump’s meme coin launch has also prompted discussions about its legal and tax implications. Cryptocurrency experts warn that such a venture could carry significant tax liabilities for Trump and investors.

除了道德和监管问题之外，特朗普的模因硬币发射还促使人们讨论了其法律和税收影响。加密货币专家警告说，这样的冒险可以为特朗普和投资者承担重大税收负债。

Moreover, if the investigation finds that Trump’s meme coin solicitation violates federal law, the Public Citizen’s complaint suggests immediate actions. These may include terminating the sale, refunding the money, and implementing additional penalties.

此外，如果调查发现特朗普的模因造成的招标违反了联邦法律，则公民投诉建议立即采取行动。这些可能包括终止销售，退还资金并实施其他罚款。

The Department of Justice and the Office of Government Ethics have yet to respond to the filing.

司法部和政府道德办公室尚未回应备案。
