Senator Ossoff Calls for Trump Impeachment Over Memecoin Dinner

United States Senator Jon Ossoff has publicly expressed his support for the impeachment of US President Donald Trump, citing the President's plan to host a private dinner for top holders of the Official Trump memecoin. During an April 25 town hall, Ossoff criticized the President's decision to grant audiences to individuals who purchase the memecoin, stating that this action constitutes an impeachable offense.

Ossoff, a Democrat, emphasized that when the sitting President of the United States sells access in exchange for direct payments, it rises to the level of an impeachable offense. He made these remarks during a town hall in the state of Georgia, where he is seeking reelection to the US House of Representatives.

The Senator also noted that while he strongly supports impeachment proceedings, such an action is unlikely to occur unless the Democratic Party gains control of the House during the US midterm elections in 2026. Currently, Trump's own Republican Party holds a majority in both the House and the Senate.

On April 23, the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin’s website announced plans for Trump to host an exclusive dinner at his Washington, DC golf club with the top 220 TRUMP holders. The website posted a leaderboard tracking top TRUMP wallets and a link to register for the event.

The specific guest list for the dinner is unclear, but the memecoin’s website states that applicants must pass a background check, cannot be from a watchlist country, and cannot bring any additional guests. The team behind TRUMP denied social media rumors that TRUMP holders need at least $300,000 to participate in the upcoming dinner with the president, clarifying that the cutoff is based on the leaderboard rather than the block explorer.

Legal experts have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest stemming from Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures, including the TRUMP memecoin and the Trump-affiliated decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol World Liberty Financial. Charlyn Ho of a law firm highlighted that if Trump has a personal pecuniary benefit arising from his own policies, it constitutes a conflict of interest.

Ossoff's call for impeachment underscores the growing controversy surrounding Trump's involvement in cryptocurrency, particularly the TRUMP memecoin. The Senator's remarks come at a time when the political landscape is fraught with tension, and the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections will play a crucial role in determining the future of Trump's presidency.

The situation highlights the complex interplay between politics and cryptocurrency, with Trump's actions raising questions about ethical standards and potential conflicts of interest. As the political climate continues to evolve, the implications of Trump's cryptocurrency ventures and the potential for impeachment proceedings remain a subject of intense debate.
