"House Report: Trump's $7.8 Million in Foreign Earnings Raises Ethics Concerns"

A House Oversight Committee report reveals that Donald Trump's companies received over $7.8 million from at least 20 foreign governments during his presidency. The report, titled "White House For Sale," is based on Trump's business records and highlights payments from countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. These transactions may conflict with the U.S. Constitution's emoluments clause, which forbids federal officeholders from accepting benefits from foreign states without Congressional approval—a consent Trump did not seek. Eric Trump has responded by stating that profits from foreign governments were voluntarily returned to the U.S. Treasury.
