family is even more important now since he is currently the front runner for the republican nomination for president in 2024. joining us now is david cay johnston, pulitzer prize -winning who has done extensive reporting on trump s finances. his new book is called, the big cheat. how donald trump fleeced america and enriched himself and his family. david, the aid was designed to prevent job losses during the pandemic. trump international still cut several jobs, right? yes they did. what s the receipt of that money is a very clear violation of the monument clause which says that you cannot get any money, gift, etc, unless congress explicitly gives you permission to do so. and congress clearly never did that. do i think that the courts will do anything about it? no. we saw judge presented to the states and found other work to
do what is right. the monument clause he s violated. there is a lawsuit about it. there is no question he s making money hand over fist and meet at a hotel. the g 7 to meet at his hotel. it a grift. this is the most in my opinion and a lot of other people s opinion, the most criminal group family to ever get in the white house. the bambinos couldn t do anything more. they were actually prosecuted and evidence was found that has not occurred yet. it has occurred in the southern district he was individual one and they chose not to he should be with michael cohen up the river wherever it is and in this case, if it weren t first he said mueller said the elements were there and it was only olc opinion, obviously counsel stopped him. from indicting him. he came back when he got to intel committee and said i phrased that wrong, blah, blah, blah. think about this, anderson. he said he could be indicted after he leaves the presidency and he said that one of the
impeachment, which some democrats are concerned will fire up the president s base or in someway over take the actual election and what the democratic candidates talk about. what do you say? i think the president is an expert at firing up the base. he knows what gets them whether it s four freshman or saying he was exonerated and he ll say that regardless if we don t come file impeachment, he ll say he was exonerated, nothing there. he ll call it a hoax. he ll say anything. i think we need to help fire up our base and i think we need to do what is right. the monument clause he s violated. there is a lawsuit about it. there is no question he s making money hand over fist and meet at a hotel. it a grift. this is the most in my opinion and a lot of other people s opinion, the most criminal group family to ever get in the white house. the bambinos couldn t do
naval amphibious base coronado and the us coast guard before delivering remarks at a fundraiser for donald trump s reelection campaign. a major legal victory for the president after courts agree to throw out a case accusing him of using his hotel in washington dc to funnel in foreign money. todd pyro joins us with how the president and his administration are reacting. the fourth circuit ruling dc and maryland s interests were so random they shouldn t have used the legal system in the first place so what is the monument clause in the first place? part of the constitution that prohibits federal officials from receiving any gift, payment or other thing of value from a foreign state or to representatives, the complaint by dc and maryland is the president s earnings from the trump international hotel violate this clause when a foreign leader stays there but they said because dc and maryland are not really harmed
by this so they cannot bring a suit. the president taking to twitter to celebrate, quote, were just out that i won a big part of the deep state and democrat induced witchhunt, the decision in my favor from the united states court of appeals for the fourth circuit, ridiculous emoluments case, i don t make money but lose a fortune for the honor of serving and doing a great job as your president including accepting 0 salary, the president s attorney continuing the victory lap. this holes lawsuit in the minds clause issue is presidential harassment. i use that term because i have been practicing law for 40 years and you see case after case after case, after after issue aware there is no legal basis to have a lawsuit but they do it anyway. the fourth circuit did not rule whether the monument clause was fire related, just the dc and maryland didn t have standing to complain about it. talked to a lawyer by the way.
