Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) went after former President Trump on Friday, demanding in a letter that he return about $7.8 million Trump’s companies received from foreign governments while he was in office.
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Democrats first made the allegation in a report last week, claiming Trump’s companies accepted money from foreign entities in 20 countries and alleging the payments violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
HOUSE Raskin demands Trump return $7.8M foreign governments paid his companies during presidency BY NICK ROBERTSON - 01/12/24 10:53 AM ET SHARE TWEET Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) Greg Nash Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) speaks during a House Oversight Committee markup on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 as they consider a resolution to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena last month. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) went after former President Trump on Friday, demanding in a letter that he return about $7.8 million Trump’s companies received from foreign governments while he was in office.
House Oversight and Accountability Committee Democrats first made the allegation in a report last week, claiming Trump’s companies accepted money from foreign entities in 20 countries and alleging the payments violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
“Your acceptance of foreign emoluments while in office was a stunning violation of the U.S. Constitution — and a profound betrayal of the interests of the United States and the trust of the American people,” Raskin wrote.
A majority of the payments, about $5.6 million, came from China and went to Trump’s hotels in Washington and Las Vegas, as well as Trump Tower in New York, the report found.

Was it for services rendered or for shell companies?
Raskin, when did you stop selling drugs and molesting children?
Raskin . . . a weasel’s weasel
What about Saul?
The American people would like a refund in the amount of untold trillions for wasteful spending and government largesse.
FU JR
all but about 5% of that went for salaries, taxes and fees, food and supplies. The 5% profit was turned over to the treasury already.
As I understand it, these were for stays at Trump hotels.
What about Hunter??
The commie think staying the night at a hotel and paying the norml rate is a bribe? OMG - what lowlife filth.
Like President Trump pays attention to anything Little Jamie Ratskin squeaks out.
The commie think staying the night at a hotel and paying the norml rate is a bribe? OMG - what lowlife filth.
. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) - talks like a commie, quacks like a commie... evil liar.
The first time I saw Raskin, I immediately disliked him.
Ratskin is proof that Democrats and RINOS are mental detectives.
How I hate the hellish Hill. They mislead and emphasize that which is anti-America.
To Hell with The Hill.
Bingo
Raskin trying to spin it into something that it isn’t everything was on record and how it was spent.
With the exception of the nose he looks like a deranged Ed Wynn
7.8 million..
Hmmm..
That’s a number that a certain letter in the alphabet tied to a certain Democrat awhile back
He returned the profit, as required. You are still allowed to run a business as President, but you cannot make a profit when it comes to official government business buying from your business.
Raskin queefs.
