ASHINGTON ― House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) declined to express an opinion Tuesday about whether President-elect Donald Trump’s talks with world leaders about his business interests violate the Constitution.

But McCarthy did have some advice for Democrats, telling reporters they should back off calls for Congress to investigate how Trump and his transition team are separating the president-elect’s business interests from the demands of the nation.

Trump has reportedly spoken with a number of foreign leaders about various projects around the world. A part of the Constitution known as the Emoluments Clause bars presidents from getting anything of value from a foreign government unless Congress approves.

And, likely to the amazement of Democrats who have complained about endless probes into Hillary Clinton’s behavior, McCarthy argued that it’s time to back off on investigations.

“I think for too long, some of these rules have been used that way, and I think it’s been a bad thing, and it’s harmed the ability for people all to work together,” McCarthy said. “Let’s take a deep breath. We’re going into a new year, we’ve got big problems before us.”



This is so rich, none of will have to work for the rest of our lives.

28. The GOP wants the dems to play nice but.......

when Obama won, their immediate goal was to make Obama a one term President and fight him rather than work with him for the good of the country.


Obama has been willing to go the extra mile to help Trump's transition but when have the two Bush ex-presidents been willing to help our country by aiding the transition of the President-elect of their own party?

[still_one]

29. FU republicans and Mccarthy

[47of74]

30. McCarthy, go fornicate yourself in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[barbtries]

31. are there futures in irony?

gawd i hate republicans.

[bdamomma]

33. Kevin McCarthy is being very curt

isn't he??? saying things like this are horrible and treasonous.

McCarthy argued that it’s time to back off on investigations.

[greymattermom]

39. Sarcastic flattery is the thing now

Just keep saying how the Republicans have taught us how important it is to keep investigations going all the time.

[greymattermom]

38. It's all divest all the time now

just replace email with divest. Say it over and over, make sure everyone knows it's impeachable. There's a reason that Trump's name is in big gold letters on his buildings. It's his identity. He can't divest or he'd lose his identity. He has to realize that he can't keep his businesses. Maybe he'll even see to it that the recounts work.
