Liccardo's MEME Act Gains Senate Traction

May 6, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, in both the House and Senate, President Trump’s meme coin and the surrounding scheme involving his family took center stage. In February , Representative Sam Liccardo (CA-16) introduced the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement Act (MEME). In response to a groundswell of support for legislation to address Trump’s corruption in both chambers, Liccardo released the following statement: “As another famously moral White House occupant, Richard Nixon, once said, ‘the people have got to know whether or not their President is a crook.’ $TRUMP and the other family meme coins are as crooked as schemes come. After months of calling for action to make corruption criminal again, I applaud Senator Chris Murphy and others for joining me in the fight.” ###
