Democrats aim at Trump’s crypto profits with a 3-prong pincer move

US Democrat lawmakers have launched a multi-angle attack on President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures with two bills and a subcommittee inquiry aimed at cutting his ability to profit from the initiatives.    The Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement Act, or the MEME Act, aims to prevent federal officials from using their position to profit from memecoins, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy said in a May 6 statement.  If passed, the MEME Act prohibits the president, vice president, members of Congress, senior executive branch officials, their spouses and children from issuing, sponsoring, or promoting a security, future, commodity, or digital asset, according to the bill’s description.  Today I’m introducing a bill - the MEME Act - to ban a President or Member of Congress from issuing a meme coin source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-senator-proposes-bill-would-prevent-trump-from-profiting-from-memecoins?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
