D.C., Maryland say the president is illegally profiting from the Trump International Hotel in Washington.
By Ann E. Marimow and Ann E.
At issue are the Constitution’s once-obscure emoluments clauses, designed to prevent undue influence on government officials but never before applied in court to a sitting president. The subpoenas seek details on some of the most closely held secrets of Trump’s business and finances: Which foreign governments have paid the Trump Organization money? How much? And for what?
The Richmond-based court, which takes appeals from Maryland, temporarily put the subpoenas on hold while the case is pending. “The president seeks to justify that extraordinary remedy on the ground that he is completely immune from judicial process,” Racine and Frosh said in their court filing.Unlike past presidents, Trump has retained ownership of his private businesses, including the hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, a few blocks from the White House, that has attracted government clients. The Kuwaiti Embassy has held its National Day celebration there three years in a row.
