Summons Issued For Trump In Emoluments Case | WAMU

A lawsuit filed by D.C. and Maryland against President Trump over his alleged business conflicts has been expanded to include Trump in his personal capacity as a businessman, which means that a summons has been sent to perhaps the most famous address in Washington: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The attorneys general for both states argue in a lawsuit that Trump is violating the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution, which in part bans public officials from receiving gifts and payments from foreign governments without approval from Congress. They argue that Trump’s refusal to divest from his sprawling business empire — in particular, the Trump International Hotel in downtown D.C. — has meant that foreign governments have directly paid the Trump Organization for hotel bookings and events. The suit also alleges that businesses in both Maryland and D.C. have lost out on potential profits because groups are staying at Trump’s properties in order to curry favor with the president.

Trump is the president and you can't do jack shit about it, you have no power in the House, no power in the Senate, we control the SCOTUS. We'd whoop your ass at something else but that would be piling on after the whistle.

I have three words: Quid pro quo.

The emoluments clause is directed at GIFTS AND PAYMENTS, not payments in the normal course of business.

This is a bullshit lawsuit, intended to help with fund - raising from those with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Informed people on the left understand that Hillary is Satan. Nothing worse than when one of yours pretends to be one of ours.
