WASHINGTON - A US appeals court on Friday threw out a lawsuit brought by Democratic lawmakers alleging President Donald Trump's overseas business dealings violate the US Constitution's anti-corruption"emoluments" clauses.

The lawsuit was brought in 2017 by congressional Democrats including Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.
