Speaker 1: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics and Washington's a liberal hat group.
Speaker 1: They're known as Crew, and they claim that President Trump's
Speaker 1: business ties conflict with the Constitutions and Monuments clause. That
Speaker 1: clause prohibits federal officials from receiving benefits from foreign governments
Speaker 1: while they're in office. Now, if that clause literally applies,
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton ought to be in jail. Should to be
Speaker 1: locked up for it? Anyway? Oral arguments on this case
Speaker 1: are schedule for October eighteen. Before taking office, Trump divested
Speaker 1: himself of his business operations, handing him over to his family.
Speaker 1: The Trump Organization set a process to identify any profits
Speaker 1: from foreign sources and donate that money to the Treasury.
Speaker 1: So the issue of Trumps on how profiting from foreign
Speaker 1: government should be moot. But see, this lawsuit isn't driven
Speaker 1: by concerns about Trump making money he shouldn't, and it
Speaker 1: isn't motivated by a desire to follow the constitution. The
Speaker 1: fuel for this lawsuit is hated. This and every other
Speaker 1: court action the lives have filed is based on hate.
Speaker 1: They hate Trump, they hate that he won the election,
Speaker 1: they hate that they lost the election, and they're trying
Speaker 1: to win in the courtroom what they can't win at
Speaker 1: the ballot box. The problem is that there are a
Speaker 1: lot of other Democrats in court and they wear black robes,
Speaker 1: and that means it could be tough for Trump. We
Speaker 1: hope not. We'll keep a sharp eye. M
