BREAKING: D.C. and Maryland to sue President Trump alleging breach of constitutional oath

has broken many promises to keep separate his public duties and private business interests, including receiving regular updates about his company’s financial health.

The lawsuit, which Racine and Frosh described to The Washington Post on Sunday night, could open a new front for Trump as he navigates dueling investigations by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and congressional committees of possible collusion between his associates and the Russian government during the 2016 presidential campaign.

If a federal judge allows the case to proceed, Racine and Frosh say, one of the first steps would be to demand through the discovery process copies of Trump’s personal tax returns to gauge the extent of his foreign business dealings. That fight would most likely end up before the Supreme Court, the two said, with Trump’s attorneys having to defend why the returns should remain private.

Fake news Sunday!

There is no "fake news" to the story. This was publicly announced by the state Attorneys General. Calling it "fake news" does not make this go poof and disapper.

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh:

“This case is, at its core, about the right of Marylanders, residents of the District of Columbia and all Americans to have honest government,” Frosh said, referring to parts of the Constitution known as the “emoluments” clauses, which prohibit U.S. officials from taking gifts or other benefits from foreign governments. “The emoluments clauses command that . . . the president put the country first and not his own personal interest first.”

“We’re getting in here to be the check and balance that it appears Congress is unwilling to be,” he said. “We’re bringing suit because the president has not taken adequate steps to separate himself from his business interests.”

"To have honest government" fake fuckng news.

Barry and old Hil are guilty of this...
Lynch demanded be called a matter...Not illegal acts against our nation.

Like all who are guilty of not enforcing immigration laws.
All in DC are guilty of this.
Better watch out what Pandora's box you open libs.

Well, I think even court cases like this go poof and disappear for delusional Trump cult members, if it is negative for Dear Leader.

Fine, I am all for filing court cases against Obama and Hillary too.

Wonder whose idea this was?

Rod Rosenstein came from Maryland?

NY DailyNews has it now:

Maryland and D.C. attorney generals to sue President Trump for emoluments clause violations

This is a developing story and will be updated.

HUH? DOJ just said no they cant
Thread: ?DOJ: Trump can accept Gifts from foreign governments!

Emoluments clause doesn't apply to the President. They can have all the fun they want trying to argue it.

TRUMP FOREVER

Someone send the fake news tards at the Washington Compost some links to The Clinton Foundation.

Ask them when that will be investigated.

Oh sure. Two states Attorneys General are filing suits in their respective states against Donald Trump.

Heck. his lawyers don't even need to show up for the court date. Just call the courts and say "this is fake news", ignore the summons and it all just disappears.

So what you are saying is that there are no such lawsuits and the quotes from the DC and Maryland attorneys general announcing the lawsuits were all just made up and they never said it?

Are you seriously that delusional?

Once again, the "fake news" excuse.

It's called a frivolous lawsuit.

The dems are masters at it.

Bla bla bla bla

Bla bla bla bla

Fake threats, fake news, fake bullshit

Its a new crisis every week and will be for 7.5 more years. Learn to ignore it.

The establishment is really pulling out all the stops to stop Trump. They are making it a little too obvious though.

But this is a real lawsuit, not "fake news" and not some kind of "fake threat".

If it is frivolous litigation, Trump's legal team can prove that after this goes to court and recover expenses and damages.

Once you file a law suit it is real,even if it is all BS.

Posted by a ShareBlue troll. 90% chance it turns out to be nothing like everything else they post.

That's how the left got Sarah Palin to step down from her governorship.

They use the judicial branch because they go judge shopping and their own accommodate them.

Both state attorney's general have publicly announced, on the record, that they will sue Trump.

The delusional fantasy of TrumpTard cultists by shouting "FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS" is difficult to comprehend. "FAKE NEWS" is not going to make this go away.

On the other hand, this suit never would have happened if Trump had divested his holdings or put them into a blind trust. But he didn't do that, did he?

Christ the crybabies are still pissed that Hillary lost. Get over it snowflakes.
