Federal Appeals Court Revives Emoluments Lawsuit Against Trump

The transcript discusses a lawsuit against President Trump, revived by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, filed by New York and DC restaurant owners. The case involves the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits U.S. officials from accepting foreign payments. The restaurant owners claim they lose business to Trump establishments, as foreign officials prefer them to gain favor. This is one of several emoluments lawsuits against Trump, including one by congressional Democrats and another by Maryland and DC Attorneys General. The latter was dismissed but may be reconsidered after Trump's G7 summit proposal at his Doral hotel.
