"House Report: Trump's Businesses Earned Millions from Foreign Deals During Presidency"

A House Oversight Committee report revealed that Donald Trump's businesses received $7.8 million from foreign governments during his presidency, potentially violating the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause. The payments came from 20 countries, with China and Saudi Arabia being the largest contributors. The report suggests these payments were made while the countries were engaging with the U.S. on foreign policy objectives. The investigation into these alleged violations was halted by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee in 2023. The report recommends Congress to adopt measures to prevent future violations of the emoluments clause.
