Gate News message: On April 10, three U.S. senators questioned whether Trump promoted the purchase of TRUMP coins through a luncheon event. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, and Richard Blumenthal have sent a letter to the event organizers requesting that they provide relevant documents to understand the role Trump played in the planning, promotion, and potential profit from the April 25 Mar-a-Lago event. The event is limited to investors ranked in the top 297 by TRUMP token holdings. It’s worth noting that on the same day, Trump also needs to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner held in Washington, and whether he can attend both events at the same time is in question. The event terms also state that Trump “may be unable to attend.” The senators said that even with Trump’s attendance uncertain, the organizers used “access to the president” as a selling point, effectively encouraging the purchase of the Meme coins he issued, thereby generating profits for Trump and his family.
