(r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against President Trump in an ideologically split decision. Maryland and D.C. can proceed with their emoluments lawsuit against him. The lawsuit claims that the President violated the Constitution. They&#8217;re accusing President Trump of accepting foreign government money via his Washington hotel.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump and his team are preparing to appeal this before the U.S. Supreme Court. According to the article, the court arguments related to this case were heated. The conservative judges tied their Democrat counterparts to the Democrat opposition to President Trump.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Politico:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 4th Circuit&#8217;s full bench essentially split along ideological lines with the Democratic appointees turning down Trump&#8217;s attempt to halt discovery ordered by a federal district court judge in Maryland and the Republican-appointed ones siding with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Judge Roger Gregory, who was recess appointed by President Bill Clinton and got a permanent appointment under President George W. Bush, joined those ruling against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>An all GOP-appointed panel of the 4th Circuit had previously voted unanimously to shut down the suit the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general filed back in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The key majority opinion issued Thursday held that, because of the posture of the case, Trump needed extraordinarily strong arguments to prove that District Court Judge George Hazel erred by allowing the fact-finding discovery process to proceed.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Diana Motz said that even if Hazel erred, the president had not shown he had an &#8220;indisputable&#8221; right to shut down the suit, which would be required for the appeals court to step in at this stage. Motz, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, also said the records D.C. and Maryland were seeking at this point in no way intruded on Trump&#8217;s official duties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Politico has the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/05\/14\/appeals-court-green-lights-emoluments-suit-against-trump-257884\">here<\/a>:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against President Trump in an ideologically split decision.
