Rep. Raskin introduces dual House resolutions demanding Trump comply with Emoluments Clauses

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduces two resolutions demanding President Trump comply with the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution. Raskin cites the White House ballroom's anonymous donor structure — which allows entities holding billions in federal contracts and foreign-connected firms to contribute without disclosure — alongside a $500 million investment deal between a UAE-tied firm and Trump's family crypto venture World Liberty Financial, and other financial arrangements. The Foreign Emoluments Clause bars federal officials from accepting gifts or payments from foreign governments without congressional consent; the Domestic Emoluments Clause bars the president from receiving compensation beyond official salary from any level of government. New York Times reporting around the same time identifies ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg-based steel company, as a ballroom donor, raising direct foreign emoluments questions.
