Congressional Democrats will file a legal brief in federal court on Tuesday asserting that President Trump’s promotion of his Doral resort for the G-7 summit was further evidence he has violated the Emoluments Clause, despite his decision to reverse course.
The initial announcement last week — from Trump’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, as he stood behind the official White House podium — provided the president’s personal property with “invaluable publicity” that in and of itself may amount to an emolument, a House Democratic source said.
Democratic lawmakers and their aides debated how to proceed over the weekend, after the president tweeted that he had reversed the decision and would not hold the G-7 summit at his Florida resort, only three days after Mulvaney’s announcement.

How much of this can one man take? Lets get the house back so we can get the job done, clean out the FBI,DOJ and CIA and start locking these criminals up!
Mulvaney said it was not lost on him that his presser never would have happened if the no-go decision had been made earlier. On the other hand, the reversal never would have happened if Mulvaney could talk his way out of a paper bag.
Nuthin'.
PDJT will leave the Presidency poorer than when he arrived.
Oh, and he gifts his salary too.
Meanwhile, Bammy left with tens of millions.
Frivolous, likely to be dismissed with prejudice with attorney fees awarded to defendant.
I thought the emoulument clause did NOT PERTAIN to president and VP
As expected two facts were ignored and not reported when this location was selected;
First fact; It was offered to be used at cost.
Second fact G7 meets have security problems and are often sites of riots and property damage
It applies to republicans.
How many DemocRAT politicians have entered office as thousandaires but left as multimillionaires? And we are to believe that they are concerned about emoluments by a man who had built his own wealth long before seeking office and is now losing money?
By all means, let’s do enforce the emoluments clause. Start with crooked Pelosi and work through the lot of them.
As illustrated by the socialist democRATs’ actions, “emoluments” refers to honest money made outside of and independently of government connections, but not to fortunes earned through quid pro quo and other dishonest means available only to powerful politicians.
I don't know how he can stand this bullshit.
I would do things that are really boarder line unconstitutional, like ordering my AG to bring charges IMMEADIATELY, against Hillary for her email and foundation law breaking.
Since the President is the chief law enforcement officer and the AG works for him, this is lawful {but it doesn't look good}.
I'd do it anyway.
I would bring charges against the whole cabal, 50-60-70 of them until I had confessions in hand and then I'd be putting people in Federal Maximum Security Prisons.
I am a vindictive bastard.
“I don’t know how he can stand this bullshit.”
This is the coup. They aren’t doing this to get rid of him, it is “we the people” they are punishing. Nancy is running the country now, because Trump is incapable, compromised, and criminal, they must overturn everything he does. She feels sorry for him and as she takes the torch she is praying for him and his family. Their plan is to literally drown us in 24-7 Trump, so by the time Election Day rolls around, many will be exhausted and either not vote or vote to just get rid of him.
Legal advice from the helmet haired homo on Fox.
Hunter Biden was paid the emoluments from China and Ukraine, for his father.
I cant wait to see the trial. Joe and Hunter Biden should be on the witness list.
And I’m happy to see Trump has mentioned George Washington. His business never stopped running for the eight he was president. It’s classic, our communist speaker of the house is impeaching our president for having a private business.
Can Washington be impeached posthumously?
If so, someday they will try it.
Almost time to cross the Rubicon. Remove Obama’s generals first.
So in what way does announcing that the G8 summit would be held at Doral represent accepting something from a foreign power?
answer: It does not
Have these people ever read the Emoluments Clause?
I guess this is why liberals love yoga: they twist themselves up and repeat mantras
Go away dummies.
And we have overwhelming proof that the democrat Nazis are traitors. Let’s arrest them and start the treason trials.
That is not vindictive, that is restoring the rule of law and I second your motion. Make sure a few Senators are included ( R. Burr, M. Warner and B. Corker), that will really get things going. Also, GITMO is the perfect place to house the scum.
