A federal appeals court has ordered the dismissal of a lawsuit alleging President Trump violated the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause through his continued financial interest in his Washington, D.C., hotel.
The ruling from the unanimous three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is a victory for the president, who was accused by the attorneys general of D.C. and Maryland of unconstitutionally profiting from foreign governments whose officials stay at or frequent the Trump International Hotel, located just blocks from the White House.
