'Every American should be incredibly troubled by this jaw-dropping news,' a lawyer involved in an emoluments suit said.
The Emoluments Clause, located in Article I of the U.S. Constitution, states that federal officials, including the president, cannot receive gifts, compensation or items of value from foreign governments, their rulers or representatives.that the latest report has renewed the urgency of resolving the foreign emoluments issue in federal court, where it has, until now, yielded essentially no case law.
Trump is currently being sued in three federal jurisdictions over allegations that his continued interest in the Trump Organization makes him the ultimate beneficiary of foreign payments to his company, violating the Constitution's apparent prohibition on these transactions with federal officeholders.that the analysis bolsters new claims under the Emoluments Clause by expanding the base of individuals who may have standing before the courts on this issue.
Erwin Chemerinsky, a dean at Berkeley School of Law who is also involved in the emoluments litigation, said that the payments implicated a clear pattern of Constitutional violations.
