A court has now decided that the Emoluments Clauses, put in place by the framers of the Constitution to protect against corruption, are broad and can be enforced in court. We look forward to working with MD and DC to stop these insidious violations. https://t.co/ib1UmrNxIs

It's called "emoluments" — written into our Constitution, saying a President cannot accept money or favors from foreign agents, representatives, businesses…and #Trump may be in big trouble after latest decision from the bench.https://t.co/cyaNaQGjsw

UPDATED: Fed. judge gives go-ahead to lawsuit alleging @realDonaldTrump is violating the Constitution by doing business w/foreign govts. Could crack the secrecy of Trump Org, which has kept its customers private even as its owner sits in the Oval Office. https://t.co/urmaHhnkz9

When we filed the first Emoluments Clause case, right after the inauguration, Eric Trump called it "very, very sad" and President Trump (within moments, before he or his lawyers had time to read it) pronounced the suit "totally without merit." Things look pretty different now. https://t.co/VkhuGWbasy
