Trump to ask Supreme Court to stop lawsuit claiming president profits unlawfully from D.C. hotel

President Trump will ask the Supreme Court to halt a lawsuit against him brought by Maryland and Washington D.C. alleging that he has violated the Constitution's emoluments clauses.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled earlier in the day that the suit against the president over his Washington hotel property could proceed. The vote of the deeply divided appeals court was 9-6. The Constitution bars presidents from receiving emoluments, an archaic word for types of payments, from foreign governments or U.S. states. Trump's attorneys have argued that the obscure constitutional provisions at issue do not apply to commercial transactions like booking hotel stays.

"The President has not explained, nor do we see, how requests pertaining to spending at a private restaurant and hotel threaten any Executive Branch prerogative," she wrote.In both decisions, judges ruled along partisan lines, with Democratic appointees siding with Maryland and D.C. and Republican appointees siding with Trump.

Scotus obvious profit making from foreign countries. Get the hotel transactions since presidency. Have SCOTUS review and make decision. Did Trump give all profits back to government as required?

Well, realDonaldTrump, prove that you aren't. But you're an asshat so you won't. Never saw an innocent person try so hard to hide things.

Trump could lose crucial tax return case after tough Supreme Court hearingMSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent reports on the oral arguments in Pres. Trump’s fight to hide his tax and financial records on the day of historic oral arguments at the Supreme Court. Melber notes that Trump has broken with the precedent of candidates -- in both parties -- by hiding his returns and taking the battle to the high court. He contrasts Trump’s approach with Mitt Romney, who disclosed his records, noting “that’s why Kanye West could famously invoke GOP nominee Mitt Romney for clever tax dodging, ‘I'm just trying to protect my stacks / Mitt Romney don't pay no tax.” AriMelber You must be talking about ObamaGate , AriMelber Got my fingers crossed.

Supreme Court justices raise concern about 'harassment' by subpoenas for Trump taxes, financial recordsNEW: A divided Supreme Court wrestled with the legality of sweeping congressional subpoenas for Pres. Trump’s personal financial records, raising concerns about potential for 'presidential harassment.' Chief Justice John Roberts worried the House committees are claiming a 'limitless' ability to request private documents of a sitting president, while Justice Stephen Breyer noted the subpoenas sought 'a lot of information and some of it's pretty vague.' It’s not harassment, it’s your job. Release his taxes. Allow Americans to see who Trump really is. The Lying Crook! Divided? Sure it is. Another victory for Trump.
