周四提起的一项诉讼指控唐纳德·特朗普总统及其家族的加密货币公司“腐败地从”超过 20 亿美元的数字货币相关交易中获利，违反了宪法关于接受外国资金的限制。
A lawsuit filed Thursday accuses President Donald Trump and his family's crypto company of "corruptly profiting" off more than $2 billion in digital currency related deals, violating constitutional restrictions on accepting foreign money.
“美国历史上没有任何一位总统如此厚颜无耻地从其职位中获利，”这份联邦民事诉状指控道。原告是 Circle Internet Group（一家上市的美国加密货币公司，也是特朗普家族企业 World Liberty Financial 的竞争对手）的股东。该诉讼由股东兼 Circle 前员工 J. Benjamin Greenberg 在华盛顿联邦地区法院提起，核心指控涉及 World Liberty 与阿拉伯联合酋长国国家安全顾问谢赫·塔赫努恩·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬之间的两项所谓“非法外国酬金”。
"No president in American history has profited from his office so brazenly," alleges the federal civil complaint from a shareholder of Circle Internet Group a publicly traded U.S. crypto company and competitor of the Trump family business, World Liberty Financial The suit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington by shareholder and former Circle employee J. Benjamin Greenberg centers on two allegedly "illegal foreign emoluments" involving World Liberty and Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the national security advisor to the United Arab Emirates.
在 2025 年 1 月特朗普就职前几天，由塔赫努恩支持的一个实体——因其强大的情报角色而广为人知的“间谍谢赫”——同意以 5 亿美元收购 World Liberty 49% 的股份。
Days before Trump's inauguration in January 2025, an entity backed by Tahnoon —widely known as the "Spy Sheikh" because of his powerful intelligence role — agreed to buy a 49% stake in World Liberty for $500 million.
该公司告诉《华尔街日报》（该报于 2026 年 1 月披露了这笔交易），特朗普未参与该交易。但根据他的财务披露，特朗普在成为总统后将从这笔购买中获得数百万美元。
The company told The Wall Street Journal which revealed the transaction in January 2026, that Trump had no involvement in the deal. But Trump would receive millions of dollars from that purchase after becoming president, according to his financial disclosures.
诉讼还强调了一个由塔赫努恩担任主席的阿布扎比投资基金的“计划”，即通过去年购买价值 20 亿美元的 World Liberty 稳定币 USD1 来“抬高特朗普总统加密货币持仓的价值”。
The lawsuit also highlights a "scheme" by an Abu Dhabi-based investment fund chaired by Tahnoon to "inflate the value of President Trump's crypto holdings" through last year's purchase of $2 billion in World Liberty's stablecoin, USD1.
诉讼主张，该行为违反了美国宪法的“外国酬金条款”，该条款禁止联邦职位持有者在未经国会同意的情况下接受外国官员的金钱或其他礼物。
The lawsuit asserts the conduct violates the U.S. Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause, which forbids federal officeholders from accepting money or other gifts from foreign officials without the consent of Congress.

He's made millions from these deals by selling out the American people," Matt Pelikan, an attorney at Evergreen Legal, said in a statement to CNBC.
“我们提起诉讼是为了制止腐败，并迫使特朗普总统将利润退还给美国纳税人，”佩利坎说。
"We're suing to stop the corruption and to force President Trump to return the profits to American taxpayers," Pelikan said.
诉状称，格林伯格代表Circle提起衍生诉讼。该公司在给CNBC的声明中表示，并非诉讼发起方，且不评论正在进行的诉讼。
The suit says Greenberg is filing derivatively on behalf of Circle. The company said in a statement to CNBC it was not behind the lawsuit and does not comment on pending litigation.
“Circle并未发起、指导、授权或参与提起诉讼，”该公司通过发言人表示。
"Circle did not initiate, direct, authorize, or participate in the filing," the company said via a spokesperson.
诉状将特朗普、World Liberty（世界自由金融）以及美国中东问题特使史蒂夫·威特科夫列为被告，此外还有四家相关有限责任公司。
The suit names Trump, World Liberty and U.S. Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff as defendants, as well as four related limited liability companies.
“World Liberty Financial遵守所有美国法律法规，”World Liberty发言人大卫·瓦克斯曼告诉CNBC。“World Liberty Financial无人为美国政府工作。这些指控毫无根据，我们期待在法庭上解决。”白宫和威特科夫发言人未立即回应CNBC关于该诉讼的置评请求。
"World Liberty Financial is compliant with all U.S. laws and regulations," David Wachsman, a World Liberty spokesperson, told CNBC. "No one at World Liberty Financial works for the U.S. Government. These claims are without merit and we look forward to resolving them in court." The White House and a spokesperson for Witkoff did not immediately respond to CNBC's requests for comment on the lawsuit.
除了寻求法院宣判特朗普的利润违宪外，格林伯格还要求总统披露收到的所有其他外国加密货币酬金，并退还被认定为非法的任何利润。
In addition to seeking a court declaration that Trump's profits violate the Constitution, Greenberg wants the president to disclose all other foreign crypto emoluments he's received and return any profits found to be illegal.
自重返白宫以来，特朗普及其家族迅速扩张加密货币业务。World Liberty Financial于2024年由特朗普和威特科夫家族成员共同创立，运营USD1稳定币，一家与特朗普及其家族有关联的实体持有该公司约38%的股份。
Trump and his family have rapidly expanded their crypto business since he returned to the White House. World Liberty Financial, launched with members of the Trump and Witkoff families in 2024, operates the USD1 stablecoin, and an entity affiliated with Trump and his family owns about 38% of the company.
尽管 WLFI 的投资者遭受了巨额损失，但这对特朗普来说仍是一笔非常赚钱的生意。在特朗普2025年的年度财务报告中，他披露了自己的加密货币收入超过了14亿美元，其中近8亿美元与 World Liberty 有关。与此同时，WLFI 的股价从2025年8月的约0.45美元跌到了2026年6月底的约0.05美元。
The business has been highly lucrative for Trump even as WLFI investors suffered steep losses Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in crypto income in his 2025 annual financial disclosure including nearly $800 million tied to World Liberty. WLFI, meanwhile, fell from about 45 cents in August 2025 to about 5 cents by the end of June 2026.
这家企业因其与阿联酋（UAE）的关联而受到了特别关注。在 Tahnoon 在2025年进行投资几个月后，美国政府扩大了阿联酋获取美国先进人工智能芯片的权限，这些芯片被用于 G42（一家由 Tahnoon 控制的、得到阿联酋政府支持的人工智能公司）的研发中。
The venture has drawn particular scrutiny over its ties to the UAE. Months after Tahnoon's 2025 investment, the administration expanded UAE access to advanced U.S. AI chips including for G42, a UAE state-backed AI company controlled by Tahnoon.
美国立法者要求获取有关这些交易的信息，并表示：如果民主党在2026年的中期选举中赢得国会 subpoena（传票）的权力，特朗普家族的商业交易可能会面临进一步的调查。
U.S. lawmakers have sought information about those dealings and signaled that Trump family business transactions could face further investigation if Democrats gain subpoena power in Congress in the 2026 midterm election.
