Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh claims Trump violated the Emoluments Clause after a report revealed that Secret Service agents spent $28,800 in one day at a golf club owned by President Donald Trump.
Frosh, along with District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine, sued Trump in 2017 for violations of the Emoluments Clause, which states that a president cannot receive money from foreign governments or affiliated entities without Congressional consent.
"Unlike previous presidents, President Trump has refused to separate himself from his businesses and OAG alleges that he continues to accept money from foreign and domestic governments through transactions at the Trump International Hotel here in the District," read a statement about the lawsuit on the D.C. Attorney General's website.
