Emoluments Case Against Trump Can Move Forward
- 6 years ago
According to Reuters, an emoluments case filed against President Donald Trump can move forward.
A federal judge rejected a bid by President Trump to dismiss the lawsuit, which claims he violated the US Constitution's emoluments clause.
The lawsuit was filed by the attorneys generals of Maryland and the District of Columbia.
The suit alleges that Trump violated that clause by accepting gifts from foreign and state governments through his Washington hotel while serving as president.
