During a Senate hearing, Secretary of State Marco Rubio clashed with Sen. Chris Murphy over President Trump's upcoming dinner with top investors in a crypto coin. Murphy criticized Rubio for not being informed about the high-profile event, suggesting it may involve wealthy foreign nationals potentially tied to controversial interests. The interrogation focused on the implications of such interactions on national security, with Murphy emphasizing the need for transparency about attendees. Rubio defended his position by downplaying the dinner's significance and questioning the relevance of such inquiries.
You have to be pretty wealthy in order to be able to get inside this dinner. Isn't that a relevant question for the secretary of state?
If they had terrorist links, the Department of Homeland Security probably would not have allowed them into the country.
I don't even know there is a dinner on Thursday. You're asking me about something I don't know about.
It's kind of naive to believe that they aren't gonna be in that room talking about national security matters.
