Marching women might be less problem for Trump than revenue from abroad
Just two days after the national Women’s March on Washington, President Donald Trump is in a bit of trouble and it has nothing to do with women’s rights.
Trump’s potential conflicts of interest has been talked about for months already, but on Monday those problems came to a head when a lawsuit was filed against Trump in the New York’s Southern District by a liberal watchdog group that accuse him of violating the constitution.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a liberal-funded watchdog group, was responsible for filing the suit. The lawsuit claims that Trump is in violation of the emoluments clause in the Constitution that prohibits him from receiving money from diplomats that stay in his hotels and from foreign governments who lease office space in his buildings.
