BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin goes for Donald Trump’s jugular and demands that he return the $7.8 million his companies corruptly received from foreign governments while he was president.
This is perfect…
Taking the gloves off, Raskin sent a letter demanding the money be returned after a bombshell report from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee revealed that Trump used the White House to enrich his companies.
Twenty different foreign countries funneled money into Trump businesses — including China and Saudi Arabia, a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
"Your acceptance of foreign emoluments while in office was a stunning violation of the U.S. Constitution — and a profound betrayal of the interests of the United States and the trust of the American people," wrote Raskin.
Crucially, Raskin pointed out that the $7.8 million is just the tip of the iceberg because Republicans scuttled the investigation before it could uncover the full extent of the corruption.
"Critically, the report was unable to provide a full accounting of the total amount of foreign emoluments you accepted as President, and thus, was unable to determine precisely what you owe to the American people," Raskin wrote. "You spent years litigating against the Committee to prevent us from obtaining any documents regarding the foreign emoluments you received while in office."
Raskin put the problem in simple terms: these countries gave money to Trump's companies because they wanted "favors and specific policy outcomes from" Trump and his administration, many of which they obtained.
Returning the money is a good start, but justice will not be served until Trump is prosecuted for turning the White House into a personal moneymaking scam.
