Jonathan Turley Grilled on Trump's Foreign Dealings and Crypto by Rep. Dan Goldman

Questioning of Jonathan Turley

• 🎯 Rep. Dan Goldman questioned attorney Jonathan Turley regarding President Trump's business dealings with foreign governments during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
• 💡 Goldman recalled Turley's previous testimony suggesting an impeachment inquiry into Hunter Biden's foreign investments, even without evidence of the President discussing those businesses or financially benefiting.

Trump's Financial Interests and Cryptocurrency

• ❓ Goldman inquired about Donald Trump's interest in cryptocurrency and a memecoin named after himself, issued shortly before his inauguration.
• 📈 It's stated that Trump offered a VIP White House tour and reception to the memecoin's top holders, after which the coin surged over 50%.
• 💰 Goldman presented a hypothetical (later stated as fact) scenario of Trump having a financial interest in a memecoin and auctioning off White House access to its largest holders, suggesting this warrants investigation.

World Liberty Financial and Stablecoins

• 📌 Turley was questioned about his familiarity with World Liberty Financial, a company in which Donald Trump is reportedly a significant financial beneficiary.
• 🔗 Goldman explained that this company entered a deal with a UAE-backed entity for a $2 billion transaction, with Trump's company expected to generate substantial revenue.
• ⚖️ Goldman asked if this information, concerning Trump's financial ties to a foreign government-backed deal involving a company that allegedly engaged in money laundering, would warrant an impeachment investigation, contrasting it with Turley's focus on Hunter Biden's finances.
