Overview

  • Rep. Jamie Raskin formally requested the names of the 220 investors who attended the May 22 private dinner at Trump’s Virginia golf club.
  • The invitees collectively spent about $148 million on $TRUMP tokens, averaging over $1 million each, with Justin Sun identified as the top purchaser.
  • Entities affiliated with the Trump Organization control 80 percent of the 1 billion-coin $TRUMP supply and stand to profit heavily from the venture.
  • Analysis indicates that a majority of dinner attendees are likely foreign nationals who acquired tokens via offshore cryptocurrency exchanges.
  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected conflict of interest concerns by noting the event was attended during Trump’s personal time and not as a White House function.
