Public Citizen, a US -based non -governmental organization, demanded a federal investigation to investigate whether the former president Donald Trump promotes a solana -based breast token to demand a donation. Public Citizen stated that Trump introduced the “Official Trump (Trump)” coin project using his social media shares after taking office and said that these promotions can be associated with payments that cannot be traced from abroad.
A request for investigation from Public Citizen for Trump Coin
Public Citizen has applied to the Ministry of Justice (DOJ) and the Government Ethics Office (Oge) on Wednesday. The organization emphasized that Trump’s social media shares were used to introduce the “Official Trump” token during the presidency. The Ministry of Justice and the Government Ethics Office did not comment on the issue.
Public Citizen said in his complaint that Trump describes as “asking for money in an unrequited way” can be seen as a kind of donation demand to provide personal benefit. The organization said Trump’s movements, federal laws, constitutional articles and ethics rules in introducing breast coins lead to concerns in more than one field.
Public Citizen: Trump may be abusing public duty
Apart from the donation rules, Public Citizen said that this situation contradicts the emolments Clause (gift bans) in the Constitution by raising the potential of breast coins to hide abroad payments. The complaint said, “Due to the nature of crypto currency exchanges, it is difficult to understand whether foreign state actors give a gift to Trump,” he said. Public Citizen said that the condensation of such donation demands may normalize the abuse of being a public official and the use of such ways to use such ways for personal enrichment of public officials. “If the president becomes enriched in such a way, other politicians can follow the same way,” he warned.
According to the Breast Token’s website, 80 %of token is Trump’s Revocable Trust through the CIC Digital LLC of Trump Organization. Token’s transfer efficacy and ownership intensity is visualized through Bublamaps, the largest asset is seen to hold 80 %of the Tokens. Token has lost 32 %due to the decline in the general crypto market and the tariffs that Trump proposed for China, Canada and Mexico. However, although Trump has withdrawn tariffs for Canada and Mexico, the 10 %tax on China is still valid. China, on the other hand, brought additional taxes to coal imported from the US, liquefied natural gas (LNG), crude oil, agricultural equipment, trucks and large motorized sedane cars.
