Maryland and DC plan lawsuit against Trump
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWASHINGTON — The attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia are planning to file a lawsuit against US President Donald Trump.
District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine and Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh plan to announce what they call a “major lawsuit” Monday against the president, reportedly over his alleged violations of the “emoluments” clause of the US Constitution that forbids the US president from receiving gifts or honorifics from foreign powers.
A statement released to the press on Monday says the attorneys general will make the announcement at a news conference planned for noon in Washington.
