Federal judge allows emoluments case against Trump to proceed

I really love the argument against him retaining his liquor license.

"Seven District of Columbia residents noticed that D.C. law says you have to be ‘of good character’ to have a liquor license. They want Trump’s taken away. And they might succeed.
...
That is because Trump remains the owner of the licensee—the Trump International—and D.C. law requires an owner to be "of good character.” The complainants argue that Trump having been accused of sexual assault by at least 16 women, his foundation continuing to be dogged by allegations of impropriety, his failure to pay contractors money owed, his maintenance of relationships with alleged criminals, and his attitudes toward minority groups and regarding race relations collectively mean he falls short of the legal “good character” standard."

Because they can't spin it.

The lease agreement is crystal clear:

"But critics have challenged the GSA’s ruling since the lease in part reads no "elected official of the Government of the United States...shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise therefrom[.]""

And since he remains the holder of the licensee, as per the suit specific to the liquor license, well...
