Appeals court greenlights emoluments suit against Trump
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/14/appeals-court-green-lights-emoluments-suit-against-trump-257884
A lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of violating the Constitution by accepting foreign government money through his luxury Washington hotel can proceed to fact-gathering about Trump's profits, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.
The Richmond-based 4th Circuit Court of Appeals voted, 9-6, to reject Trump's bid to shut down the lawsuit the governments of Maryland and the District of Columbia brought alleging violations of the Constitution's emoluments clauses.

Trump, who has vigorously fought a series of similar lawsuits for years, will now need relief from the Supreme Court if he wants to block Maryland and D.C. from pressing demands for his business records as his re-election campaign gets into full swing.

Moscow Mitch will probably pass a bill to help fund the legal fees for his favorite "nose-resting-place."
