I’ve joined 195 House and Senate colleagues in filing a lawsuit against President Trump for violating the #EmolumentsClause of the Constitution. The District Court for DC will hear the oral arguments in our case today. #NoOneAboveTheLaw

Foreign governments have also granted Trump businesses lucrative trademarks that could be worth millions of dollars.

The full extent of the benefits that Trump is receiving from foreign governments is unknown b/c he has refused to make his tax returns public & failed to comply with what is specifically outlined in the Constitution: come to Congress & seek its consent before accepting benefits.

That's why this lawsuit, the largest congressional lawsuit ever to be brought against a sitting President, is critically important. If the President won’t abide by the Constitution, the courts must require him to do so.
