documents show that during his presidency, donald trump s businesses received seven point $8 million in payments from at least 20 foreign countries, including china. the payments went to trump properties, including his hotels in washington d.c., las vegas, and new york. but here s the thing, they were not approved by congress, as is required under the constitution. congresswoman jasmine crockett sits on the oversight committee that released this report, and she joins me now. congresswoman, thank you so much for joining me. i want you to walk us through all of these different findings, and help us understand exactly why this isn t constitutional. so, i m going to start with the why. because i think that s the part that most people are really not understanding. that s the implications of it. and so basically, when we think back to the purpose of this and where our founders stood, it was about making sure that there would not be interference from foreign countries on our democracy here,
guess that leans in the colorado supreme court s favor. but given the makeup of the court, my prediction is that they find a way to keep him on the ballot. barbara boxer and renato mariotti, thank you for joining me tonight. before we go, we re learning new details tonight about the hospitalization of secretary of defense lloyd austin. a u.s. official confirms to nbc news that the pentagon did not inform president biden, nor senior officials in the white s national security council until three days after austin arrived at walter reed medical center. yesterday, the pentagon said austin has been hospitalized since new year s day, but did not release details about the procedure, nor about his condition. in a statement today, alston took responsibility for what he calls his decision on disclosure, and pledged to quote, do you better in the future. but next, trump s companies made millions from foreign governments when he was president. congresswoman jack flynn found the proof.
there s much they can t do without congress s help, so that s why democrats have to be as aggressive in talking about the fact that the republican policies that they want to now shut down the government over are not going to change these conditions. and so it s like chuck said. it s hiring immigration judges, it s building legal pathways, it s more humane options. and that s where the debate needs to go, but as long as we do the photo ops, i think voters are going to start to see through it because they re not coming up with solutions either. so democrats have to get more aggressive about talking about the policies that will fix this. okay, you just let me do the next question to you, jack. are democrats being serious enough? are they doing enough to not simply be on defense, to not simply react? are they putting forward the sort of cohesive message and strategy that is resonating with voters? what do you think? this is a super complicated issue, but you ve known me for a long time
