Appeals court sides with President Trump, dismisses 'emoluments' lawsuit involving his DC hotel
2019-07-11
[ABCNews] A federal appeals court on Wednesday handed President Donald Trump a legal victory, dismissing a lawsuit accusing the president of illegally profiting from his Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., by accepting money from foreign governments.

The attorneys general from Maryland and the District of Columbia had brought the case, arguing that the president violated a constitutional clause that prohibits elected officials from doing business with foreign governments without permission from Congress.

But an appeals court panel ruled the attorneys general lacked standing to bring the lawsuit.

#3  Ruled the states had 'no standing', so they may have kicked the can down the road, for further lawfare.
