Oral arguments this week in lawsuit against Trump over Emoluments Clause

By Olivia Beavers - 10/15/17 12:57 PM EDT 


A federal court in New York is expected to hear oral arguments this week in a lawsuit that alleges President Trump's restaurants and hotels have benefited unfairly by doing business with foreign governments.

The law firm Gupta Wessler PLLC will argue on behalf of the government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and others on Wednesday that Trump violated the Emoluments Clause, which bars the president from accepting gifts or other benefits from foreign leaders without congressional consent, Deepak Gupta tweeted.

Gupta and his group of slip and fall ambulance chasers are a wholly owned subsidiary of Soros.....

Public Citizen was one of the lead organizers of Democracy Awakening, a three-day event in April that drew more than 5,000 activists who chanted, marched, lobbied and were even arrested on the Capitol steps. Greenpeace, the NAACP and more than 300 other groups joined the mobilization in the nation’s capital, and demonstrators came from all corners of the country.

President Barack Obama rejected the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would have carried tar sands crude oil – the dirtiest type of oil in the world – through the Ogallala Aquifer, which provides drinking water for millions of Americans and provides 30 percent of the nation’s irrigation groundwater. Public Citizen played a major role in protesting the Keystone XL pipeline through means such as orchestrating turnout for protests, helping document the environmental threat and participating in a sit-in in front of the White House.

Public Citizen successfully defended activists from Occupy Chattanooga in court who were being sued by the county government for violating a new anti-protesting ordinance, arguing that a local government cannot sue its citizens to get a court ruling that its own law is constitutional and then force the individuals to pay the county’s litigation costs
