Didn’t Trump transfer ownership of all his properties to his sons?

No standing. Frivolous lawsuit. Fake news. Propaganda. Pathetic NYT hit piece.

Nuisance lawsuit, and they know it. Should be LAUGHED out of court.

The whole point of this is to get negative reports in the marxist media. Nothing more.

Fake News.

Emoluments are payments that result from being in office. These are not "emoluments" because they did not begin after Trump took office. These were existing business transaction cash flows that existed prior to Trump becoming President.

One could argue that a particular foreign government only began staying at Trump hotels after he became President, but if that renting of hotel rooms replaces another rental, then the net cash flow effect to Trump is zero, suggesting that there was no emolument because there was no gain to Trump.

Stupid beyond belief. Lawyers need to be fined and jailed for wasting courts time on frivolous lawsuits.

Payment for goods and services rendered, are not emoluments.

I am not a lawyer and even I know this.

A team of prominent constitutional scholars, Supreme Court litigators and former White House ethics lawyers...

White House ethics lawyers...

Couldn't stop Hillary Clinton from lying, breaking the law, advocating for funding and arming the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda?

They couldn't recognize two traitors when they rubbed elbows with them?

The bona fides of these people sucks.

I think they will have a hard time making it stick. If a foreign government books it’s people into a Trump hotel then it isn’t an emolument, it’s payment for goods or services received.

Payment is for services rendered, not an emolument.

Someone needs to be sanctioned by the court for this waste of time.

A team of prominent constitutional scholars, Supreme Court litigators and former White House ethics lawyers HAHAHAHA An argument from authority (Latin: argumentum ad verecundiam), also called an appeal to authority, is a common type of argument which can be fallacious, such as when an authority is cited on a topic outside their area of expertise or when the authority cited is not a true expert.[1]

Carl Sagan wrote of arguments from authority:

One of the great commandments of science is, “Mistrust arguments from authority.” ... Too many such arguments have proved too painfully wrong. Authorities must prove their contentions like everybody else.[2]
