Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment on Friday for rewarding investors in his Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) meme coin with a gala dinner.
What Happened: Ossoff, a Democrat from Georgia, voiced his concerns at a town hall, contending that Trump’s act of selling access to him in exchange for payments made through his memecoin is an impeachable offense.
“He is granting audiences to people who purchase the meme coin that directly enriches him,” Ossoff said. “When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.”
