Federal Appeals Court To Hear Arguments In Trump Emoluments Suit

(Washington, DC) — A federal appeals court will hear arguments today in a lawsuit claiming President Trump is illegally profiting from his presidency through his DC hotel. Attorneys general from Maryland and DC claim Trump is violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution by profiting from his business dealings with foreign countries seeking to curry favor with his administration by staying at his DC hotel. The clause prohibits elected officials from doing business with foreign governments. Trump’s attorneys tried to have the lawsuit dismissed earlier this year, but a judge in Maryland ruled the case could proceed.


Too Many Antibiotics For Older Americans

Older Americans are taking too many antibiotics. A new study by the CDC shows that doctors write enough antibiotic prescriptions each year for every older American to get at least one. Health experts say that antibiotic overuse can create drug resistance. In fact, the CDC reports two million Americans get antibiotic resistant infections each year with 23-thousand dying from them.
