President Donald Trump said Monday morning that a lawsuit alleging he violated the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution is “totally without merit.”
“No,” he said, responding to a reporter’s question during a pool spray as he signed executive orders in the Oval Office. “Without merit. Totally without merit.”
The liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a lawsuit Monday accusing Trump of violating the Emoluments Clause, which bars presidents from receiving payments from foreign governments, including businesses owned by governments.
Watch his response below:
Responding to my question about emoluments lawsuit, Trump calls suit “Totally without merit.”
Wasn’t his initial response to the trump U lawsuit the same? How’d that turn out for you dt?
Trump Dismisses Emoluments Clause Lawsuit: 'Totally Without Merit’
…which is how you know it Totally Has Merit.
The only way to nail Trump on this is going to be from outside the US. There are 2 sides to any deal.
“Trump: Totally Without Merit.”
Sums himself up well.
I hope he takes that attitude into the courtroom with him.
