TL;DR Summary

House Democrats reported that Donald Trump's businesses received at least $7.8 million from foreign governments during his presidency, potentially violating the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause. The payments were made to four Trump properties, with the majority coming from the Chinese government and state-owned entities. The report raises concerns about conflicts of interest, as Trump retained ownership of his businesses while in office. The Trump Organization claims to have donated proceeds from foreign governments to the U.S. Treasury, but the report suggests the payments disclosed may only represent a fraction of the total received.
