The Senator emphasized that impeachment proceedings would likely only advance if Democrats regain control of Congress after the 2026 midterms, as Republicans currently hold majorities in both chambers.
The controversy began when the TRUMP token’s website announced that the top 220 holders could register for an exclusive dinner with the President, prompting a surge of over 50% in the coin’s price.
Eligibility is based on wallet standings, excluding locked and exchange-held tokens, and attendees must pass a background check.
Despite online speculation that a $300,000 minimum investment was required, Trump’s team clarified that only leaderboard position matters.
The official guest list has not yet been released.
Ossoff’s remarks add fuel to growing concerns about the intersection of politics, cryptocurrency, and ethics as Trump continues to leverage alternative fundraising methods during his campaign.
