"Documents Reveal Trump's Businesses Earned $7.8 Million from Foreign Governments During His Presidency"

A House Oversight Committee report alleges that former President Donald Trump received at least $7.8 million from foreign governments through his businesses during his presidency, potentially violating the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause. The report, which Democrats say is based on a limited set of documents from Trump's former accounting firm Mazars, claims that Trump did not seek Congressional consent for these payments from countries including China, Saudi Arabia, and others. Despite legal challenges and incomplete records, the report provides evidence of substantial foreign spending at Trump's properties while he was in office, raising ethical and constitutional concerns. Trump's 2024 presidential campaign has not commented on the findings.
