Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump, who is also under investigation, is said to have made about $6 million from NFTs and other digital collectibles.
As expected, President Trump has defended these earnings in the face of much criticism from many quarters.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s proposal
The President’s statement is is what pushed Senator Gillibrand to redouble her efforts to pass legislation that would make it illegal for elected officials to issue, promote, or sponsor digital assets while they are in office.
该提案还包括总统、副总统、国会议员及其配偶。根据该提案，特朗普将不被允许引入或支持像他的模因币这样的加密货币。
All this comes on the heels of the $TRUMP memecoin trading at $1.78 on the charts after a drop of almost 80% over the past year.
吉利布兰德也说过，
This is a commonsense requirement that should get broad bipartisan support – public officials and their spouses should not be issuing memecoins. We cannot let self-dealing destroy an opportunity to strengthen consumer protections, crack down on illicit finance, and expand economic opportunity for the millions of Americans our financial system has left behind.
She added,
The time to act is now — and that must include ethics reforms that prohibit members of Congress, the president, and their spouses from cashing in on their office.
还有什么？
In addition to digital assets, Gillibrand has backed more general ethics reforms, such as bipartisan attempts to control prediction markets. She hasalso proposed long-standing plans to prohibit members of Congress and their spouses from trading individual stocks.
The Senator’s goal is to improve public confidence and stop elected officials from abusing their power for personal financial benefits.
