(Washington, DC) — A federal appeals court is siding with President Trump in a emoluments case involving his DC hotel. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the lawsuit today filed by attorneys general from DC and Maryland. The lawsuit claims Trump is illegally profiting off the presidency through his luxury hotel in downtown DC. The three-judge panel said the attorneys general lacked legal standing that the president violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution. Trump still faces a similar lawsuit filed by Democratic members of Congress.
