A federal appeals court has revived the first lawsuit President Trump faced over claims that his business dealings violated the Constitution’s foreign emoluments clause, which bars federal officials receiving payments from foreign governments
a lawsuit challenging profits Trump has received from foreign officials doing business with his Washington, D.C., luxury hotel and other Trump-branded properties. The suit also took issue with Trump Organization licensing arrangements approved by foreign governments.
The judge who originally dismissed the CREW suit, George Daniels, said the plaintiffs’ claims of harm were too speculative and remote to let the suit go forward.Sign Up “It is eminently plausible that if two establishments provide otherwise comparable services, but one establishment offers an inducement that the other cannot offer, then the inducement will attract at least some patronage that might otherwise have gone to the other establishment,” Leval wrote.
While the decision revives the CREW suit and again opens the possibility of court-ordered discovery into Trump’s business dealings with foreign and state governments, Trump’s attorneys are certain to try to continue to fight off that prospect.
