A federal appeals court has ruled that a lawsuit accusing President Trump of violating the Constitution's emoluments clause — which bars the president from receiving gifts or favors from foreign governments — can proceed.
President Trump will not be able to shake off a lawsuit that accuses him of violating the Constitution by continuing to own his businesses while serving as president, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.
"[I]n the United States, every person — even the President — has a duty to obey the law," wrote Motz. The District of Columbia and Maryland say planners of major events are booking gatherings at Trump's hotel over their own taxpayer-owned facilities, making them lose profits because, they allege, doing business at Trump's hotel is now seen as a way to curry favor with the president.
