Here’s Everything You Need To Know About The ‘Emoluments Clause’

The Democrats are trying to weaponize the Constitution against President Trump through a little-known clause known as the Emoluments Clause.

Nearly 200 Democratic politicians announced on Wednesday that they would be filing a lawsuit against Trump over the clause; on Monday the attorneys general of Washington, D.C. and Maryland announced the same thing. The lawsuits are alleging that Trump is receiving foreign money through the Trump Organization — the attorney generals’ lawsuits specifically cite the Trump hotel as an example — without congressional approval, which they claim is a violation of the Emoluments Clause.
