The hosts of CNBC’s Squawk Box grilled Donald Trump Jr. about the $TRUMP meme coin — which has been heavily criticized by ethics watchdogs who have concerns that bad actors can use the coin to purchase influence.

In the Squawk Box interview on Tuesday, Joe Kernen — who is often (but not always) a purveyor of pro-Trump commentary — confronted President Donald Trump’s son about the coin, which according to one recent estimate has generated more than $320 million for the president and business entities connected to him.
