Following a gala for top investors in Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency meme coin, several attendees visited the White House, contradicting claims from the White House that the event was separate from Trump’s official duties. Investors, including Sangrok Oh and Justin Sun, toured the White House and discussed the future of crypto, raising concerns of a “pay for play” scenario as funds flowed to Trump’s ventures. Critics highlighted the potential conflict of interest, while the White House maintained that Trump’s attendance at the gala was purely personal.
