“I certainly view this as a violation of the Emoluments Clause,” Mr. Schiff, California Democrat, said on CNN.
Mr. Trump tweeted on Sunday that he wanted federal officials to help get the Chinese phone company ZTE back into business after U.S. penalties threatened to shut the business down, according to The Hill.

Don’t you mean “delusions of adequacy”?
Litmus test:
Exactly what policy change happened due to their decisions?
The claim that PDJT experienced an additional dollar due to some business transaction has nothing to do with anything.
It’s like saying Obama changed a policy because somebody bought his book.
Love you nickname for him, “Bugsy.” Perfectly fits his bug eyes.
I'm a far greater Enemy of the People than you, so much, indeed, that the local re-education camp needs to send its gas van for me. Several years before I retired my employer assigned me to entertain a Russian Woman as part of my duties. I await the van.
I live in a state where I can’t write any of my elected officials and expect a positive response.
It’s a state that seems to want to break away from the sane portion of the nation.
It has an opportunity to lead the way on many things, and sadly when it does it’s generally in the wrong direction.
I will probably die in a state whose government won’t compare favorably to that of China.
He holds dear the illusion of adequacy.
President Trump is a billionaire with many assets tied to the U.S. economy. Schiff considers any action the president takes that results in an improved economy to be a violation of the Emoluments Clause.
Of course Schiff is part of the cabal that has impeded making America great again long before President Trump entered the presidential race.
Don’t think you’re alone, here in WA it’s not much better.
Our two Senators are hopeless and one of them (Patty) is nuts.
We had Baird for quite awhile for a Rep and he was almost as bad.
When we elected Repub Herrera-Beutler I was thrilled until last election, the RINO wrote in Paul Ryan for prez instead of voting for President Trump.
To say I was ticked is a huge understatement.
You nailed it!
Schiff is a B.E.M.
Yes, I realize the West Coast is a write off these days.
There are other places too.
Man, we need to up our game.
Be careful Shifty, emoluments clause applies to all elected officials. Never accepted any gifts, Shifty? Or profited?
Schiff for Brains violates the Clean Air Act.
Saw an ad here in PA. A Dem named Ding. He was saying how he was a doctor fighting against a drug company for 2 years, making them admit to some previously undisclosed side effects.
So elect me because Trump is bad.
Until the last 5 seconds I thought he was a trial lawyer drumming up business!
We’ll get right on checking into that after we finish investigating all the foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary’s term as SoS!
