Allegations that Trump is illegally using his office to make money are unlikely to make the cut when the House produces its impeachment articles

But some lawmakers are concerned that if the House votes on — but fails to pass — an emoluments impeachment article, it would undermine a lawsuit that more than 200 Democratic lawmakers filed in 2017 alleging Trump is violating the foreign emoluments clause through payments received at his numerous properties.

Shortly after House Democrats took control of the House, they launched investigations into whether Trump was violating the emoluments clause, which forbids a president from profiting off of foreign governments unless approved by Congress, or from receiving any money from the U.S. government except his annual salary. They are even looking into

The House is also fighting Trump and his administration in court in an effort to obtain more financial documents from the president, but it isn’t likely to receive any information for months even if it ultimately wins.Thursday that she asked six House committee chairmen to draft articles of impeachment as soon as next week, meaning a final impeachment vote could come before the end of the year.

“The public has known about emoluments from the first day of presidency, but it has not captured the public’s attention like Ukraine,” he said.

House Dems should spend a couple of weeks simply going through all the emoluments and bring the GSA in to explain TrumpDC when IvankaSOHO, Jared666 and Donald are gov employees. House Dems might think all Americans know this but they do not.

whyfund alhuette48 So trump fat hitler can get away with making money off the presidency? A great deal of the money he is stealing is from our taxes! By the time Fathead trump is finished there will not be much of anything left!

That he is making money off the job is such a damn joke; who can trust the media ? Point a finger and three point back at YOU.

Tax returns

Unlike the career politicians in the swamp, Trump didn’t run for office to make money.

So many things to charge this liar with.

But this issue is going through the courts. That lawsuit has been on the books and making its way through the system for some time. Senator Blumenthal has been all over this. May be no need to add it as an article.

meanwhile during the obama admin....

Keep digging. These articles are going to be ignored by the Senate. Keeping pursuing in courts.

I’m still waiting for someone to point out what law POTUS broke. ImpeachingHearing ImpeachmentHoax

There is nothing that will be produced in the House that will justify a duly elected President. Nothing Of the 15 witnesses that testified not one was a fact witness. And I don’t want to hear this crap about this is not a court room trial. Trump will be given a super majority

Trump has lost money since becoming President.

Good, don’t let that skeevy 🍊🤡 get away with lining his pockets so blatantly. Why not include this in the impeachment inquiry?

Trump just goes with the flow. He is initiativeless, cannot think. And also it is necessary not to go, but to 'run' in step with the times. The billionaire speaks only about his 'swagger,' high-handedness and pride. But where is the kindness of the soul and love for people!

Yes because it was always fake news peddles by unelected bureaucrats and academics. Trump has lost money since becoming president. It’s a sacrifice he made.

Maybe maybe not - he’s not completely off the books of his businesses. There lies the problem.

Trump hasn't jaywalked, he hasn't spit on sidewalk, he's 100% clean, and helping us, im sick of this shit. Not guilty, done, over.

Why not? Every other lie democrats are spinning will.
