I know this maybe not that significant on a day of such big news stories
Summons issued to Trump in case alleging he is violating emoluments clause | TheHill

But could be another reason Trump might have to hire attorneys...

Excuse me, but I think this is VERY significant. It may be a waste of time to blather about his sleazy sexual liaisons - but what could be more significant than a president in violation of the Constitution?

Thanks for posting!

Nah, I caught it this morning. The prior attempt was ruled to have a lack of standing, but this new one clearly does. It should be interesting.

Yes--I think anything that gives Congress an excuse to impeach is worth pursuing if the 18 election does reduce GOP numbers in House/Senate...

The first suit was dismissed because the judge said the companies filing had no standing
It should be settled in the "political arena" ---which meant "I don't want to make anyone mad at me",
I guess...

This suit was filed in different court by two states Attorney General
Well--DC isn't actually a state--but Maryland as well---
guess it is close enough to feel the pain of lost business to Trump Hotel...

I meant he has been in violation for his whole time in office, and nothing seemed to be done about it.

According to the Constitution, the President and Vice President are allowed to run businesses while serving. There was a big press conference when Trump was first elected where several attorneys answered this question when the baying hounds were hoping Trump would be impeached for his business. They left with heads lowered in shame. I suggest you go to the White House youtube channel and watch it.

Aren't you Loony Leftists getting tired of being jerked around by the propaganda media dangling shiny keys in front of you? They make money from your clicks and your eyeballs, you know. They will say and do anything to make money.
