Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia is reportedly calling for Donald Trump’s impeachment, alleging that the president leveraged his memecoin to meet with certain people.
According to a new report by CNBC, Ossoff told attendees at a town hall that Trump has already met the standard to face impeachment, but told them such a move would not be possible without Democrats controlling the U.S. House of Representatives.
Ossoff says that Trump offering a seat at the dinner table to the top holders of his official meme asset as a means of gaining an audience is an impeachable action.
As stated by Ossoff,
“I saw just 48 hours ago, [Trump] is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.”
Last week, it was announced that the top 220 holders of the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin would be invited to an exclusive Gala dinner event with the president on May 22nd at his private national golf club.
Ossoff says another impeachable offense by Trump was when he allegedly ignored court rulings, though Ossoff did not mention any specific cases. However, Trump was recently accused of ignoring a Supreme Court after it ruled he must facilitate the return of a man deported to El Salvador.
Other Democrat congressmen who have recently called for the President to be impeached include Representative Al Green of Texas and Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan, according to the report.
For a sitting President to be impeached, the majority of the House and two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote for it.
TRUMP is trading for $14.79 at time of writing, a 4.4% decrease on the day.
