Exploiting shutdown, Trump’s lawyers try to delay emoluments case
This creates an awkward set of incentives for the man at the heart of the case.
| Quote: |
I can’t speak to Donald Trump’s motivations in any detail, but the more the shutdown and the emoluments case are linked, the more incentive he has to keep the government shut down in order to block legal scrutiny of his legally dubious personal profits from foreign sources.
To a very real extent, this reinforces the importance of the case itself: we’re not supposed to have a system in which a president should even confront these kinds of choices.
Nevertheless, as Politico’s report added, “A short time after the government filed the request, the court agreed to put the case on hold indefinitely.”

COPIED! | Quote: |
The Manhattan Court of Appeals has reinstated a lawsuit alleging that Trump is violating the emoluments clause. This comes amid accusations that Trump is using the presidency for profit. Walter Shaub, former director of government ethics, pleads for a ‘bi-partisan effort’ to hold the Trump administration accountable. |
