"House Documents Allege Trump's Businesses Earned Millions from Foreign Deals During Presidency"

TL;DR Summary
A House Oversight Committee report alleges that former President Donald Trump's businesses received at least $7.8 million from foreign entities in 20 countries, potentially violating the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause. The report, titled "White House For Sale," suggests that these payments, including over $600,000 from Saudi Arabia, were made while Trump made policy decisions favoring these countries. The Trump Organization disputes the claims, arguing that profits were donated to offset earnings from foreign entities. Previous lawsuits on this matter were dismissed by the Supreme Court since Trump is no longer in office.
