BREAKING! Trump receives court summons for emoluments violations
 

Thankfully the citizens of the United States of America will not have to pay Trump's legal fees because Washington DC and Maryland are suing Trump as a private citizen :banana

"Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh says that he and D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine are suing Trump as a private citizen.

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."

Summons Issued For Trump In Emoluments Case

"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.

A similar emoluments lawsuit brought by an ethics watchdog and a restaurant group was tossed out earlier this year after a judge said the plaintiffs didn’t have standing. In dismissing that suit, the judge questioned whether it would be better for Congress to decide this emoluments issue rather than the courts."

Well the orange moron certainly has enough lawyers on payroll to deal with this.

Trump admitted guilt by donating his profits from foreign interest to the treasury.

The law is very clear, you cannot accept foreign income. Trump accepted foreign income. Trump admitted to accepting foreign incone, what he did with the prophets doesn't matter.

So some foreign officials stayed at Trump hotel and he donated the profits... OMG impeach!!!

You really are retarded. Not trying to be mean, just stating facts.

:pimp

If you rob a bank and donate all the money to charity, you still robbed a bank.

You accept foreign money as the president that is illegal, no matter what you do with the money.

Very simple asspimple

Like Father, Like Daughter: Ivanka Accused of Violating Emoluments Clause

"Adding to mounting conflict of interest concerns in the Trump White House, Ivanka will get over $1 million from her family's business this year."

""Ivanka Trump is believed to still have only an interim security clearance nearly 14 months into her father's tenure because of the complex finances of her husband," McClatchy notes. However, according to experts on clearance guidelines, "her continued ties to the family businesses, whose developent deals often involve international financing and buyers, could actually be causing the delay."

Lots of lawyers, but I think they are all dinks. A couple of them are "Fox News TV-lawyers" apparently.

If he was smart like President Hillary, he'd simply set up something like the Clinton Foundation as a cover to take in all the foreign money. That way, its all niiiice and legal.

Vote Hillary in 2020. Four more years!

It says RIGHT THERE on the summons "in his official capacity" so the taxpayer wll be footing at least part of the bill :thumbsup

You need to practice reading english more bro....

"in his official capacity and his individual capacity" :helpme

So Trump will be footing the bill. #ThanksTrump

So, in your twisted mind, owning a hotel business is the same as robbing a bank?

LOL! Sure thing dude. I'm sure impeachment is just around the corner. :1orglaugh
