U.S. Judge Refuses To Toss Suit Against Trump On Foreign Payments

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ― A federal judge on Wednesday gave the go ahead to part of a lawsuit that accuses President Donald Trump of flouting constitutional safeguards against corruption by maintaining ownership of his business empire while in office.

U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte in Greenbelt, Maryland refused a request by the Justice Department to throw out the case entirely, although he narrowed the claims to include only those involving the Trump International Hotel in Washington and not Trump’s businesses outside of the U.S. capital.

The lawsuit was filed by the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland last June.

The ruling marked a setback for the administration’s efforts to quash claims that Trump has violated the U.S. Constitution’s “emoluments” provisions, which have dogged Trump since even before he took office last year.

The provisions are designed to prevent corruption and foreign influence. One bars U.S. officials from accepting gifts or other emoluments from foreign governments without congressional approval. The other forbids the president from receiving emoluments from individual states.

The lawsuit claimed that the president failed to disentangle himself from his hotels and other businesses, making him vulnerable to inducements by officials seeking to curry favor with him.

His hotel is making millions from foreign governments who want to influence him. So... Yeah.

1) There's no requirement for him to do that.

2) There's plenty of evidence that he does do that.

He's not giving away free hotel rooms. He's giving them to foreign officials AT COST. The profits above cost are being donated. He's not even required to do that and people still try to complain & say it's illegal. It isn't.

Hi Ace,

Because of his ownership stake in the Trump Organization, Trump’s private financial interests are intertwined with a busines subject to many possible burdens and benefits abroad.

Donating the profits doesn't fix this. Trump may think it does, but it doesn't. Not sure if you saw the news lately but his current legal team isn't that good, and no big lawyers want to work with him.

In his dealings with foreign powers, Trump may be guided not only by the interests of the United States, but also by those of the business that bears his name. It is the purpose of the foreign emoluments clause to eliminate this kind of blurred loyalty.

U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte is right in my opinion not to throw this out. This matter like all the other matters around Trump, needs to be investigated. If he's done nothing wrong then he can turn over all the paperwork and settle the matter quickly.

As I have referenced from the beginning violation of the emoluments clause in the Constitution was the very best chance for impeachment. He has been guilty of the violation from his very first day in office just from the fact that he refused to place his company in a blind trust. Let alone all of the other benefits he has received from his business since being president.

The problem with this suit is, it could very well never reach the Supreme Court until this term is nearly over and it will definitely go to the Supreme Court as both sides will see that it gets pushed that far.
