Ethics watchdogs waste no time sounding the alarm on Pres. Trump’s involvement in the decision to host next year’s G-7 summit at his Trump National Doral Golf Club in the Miami area.
Ethics watchdogs wasted no time sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump’s involvement in the decision to host next year’s G-7 summit at his Trump National Doral Golf Club in the Miami area, which White House acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney announced this week.
The president is already facing multiple lawsuits based on the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses, one of which prohibits American office holders, including the president, from accepting any payment from a foreign government. Another prohibits a president from accepting compensation from the federal government beyond his salary.
In court filings, the lawmakers argued that Trump “has a financial interest in vast business holdings around the world that engage in dealings with foreign governments and receive benefits from those governments.” Last month, the two Democrats leading the charge, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., announced that they had begun issuing subpoenas as part of the discovery process.
On Thursday, Blumenthal announced on Twitter that the lawmakers would attach the decision to host the G-7 meeting at Doral to their suit.
