House Oversight Committee Democrats have launched an investigation into the gifts former President Trump received while he was in office, claiming he failed to account for thousands of dollars’ worth of gifts he received from foreign officials.
According to the committee, the former president appears to have flouted laws that require turning over any gift deemed to be worth more than $415 — a longstanding practice based on the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which places limits on what the president can receive from foreign governments.

I believe this is old news pretending to be new news.
This is banana republic style stuff, going after a previous president to keep him from running again.
I hope Trump gets back into office and learns to do the same to Zero and Biden.
It was the Clintons who had sticky fingers, not Trump.
The panic is really setting in. Anything for news must be dragged out in hopes of influencing the faithful who are deciding not to vote
Indeed....some snatches they paid for...some they returned...and I’m sure there are plenty we know nothing about.
I understand he had impure thoughts on a steamboat landing, and that he sang too loud in the Sunday choir.
GO TO IT, SCHIFFACE!
Whatever happened with the Clintons stripping the WH of furniture, silverware and every thing not nailed down?
What happened with Clinton’s staff defaced and destroyed equipment, rendering it unusual for the incoming administration?
Not a GD thing.
I wonder if Clinton and the Obungler can still be impeached?
Are they saying Trump got Soros cash, TOO!!! 😉
Dems investigate a thousand dollars worth of gifts to a billionaire while flushing the country down the drain
“laws that require turning over any gift deemed to be worth more than $415 — a longstanding practice based on the Emoluments Clause..”
There’s a liberal mind in action. So which is it: a law, a practice or the Constitution? It wouldn’t kill the author to lead with the main point.
This is stupid. When a person has all the money in the world, there is no such thing as monetary value.
Politicians steal millions every time a major spending bill is passed. Think Solyndra.
Sometimes I wonder if propaganda from the hill should be posted at all....it’s always such bullshit.
The Hill, may as well be Media Matters.
This....as with so many other stories....where are the Republicans?
And yet we are supposed to get all excited about the mid terms .
When Trump took office the Reps controlled all three branches of government. The dems didn’t care....they tore into Trump and the Reps did nothing about it.
Just another symptom of tyranny of Government. Harass all opponents of the ruling party.
they’re already moving to their next shot at the king. Gotta wonder if they know the Jan6 hearings are going to land with a thud.
If only. They helped the Dems.
