murdered this west reporter. "washington post" reporter. there are many other instances in which he has bent over backwards to help russia, to help china when he's fighting with all of them but he's also taking unusual positions. the point of the emoluments clauses is to ensure that the president puts our interests first, not his own interests first. >> but his team, the president's team has said that the activities that you're suing for aren't emoluments but regular business transactions and that profits from foreign governments are donated to the u.s. treasury. what's your response to that? >> ooh he's trying to negotiate the terms of the emoluments clauses. the constitution of the united states is not negotiable. he would like to avoid disclosing what he's receiving and how much he's profiting, and the fact that he's getting payments is what will makes him in violation of the emoluments clauses.
