Add BT as a preferred sourceWashington
NEARLY 200 Democratic members of Congress filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday accusing President Donald Trump of violating the Constitution by profiting from business dealings with foreign governments.
The plaintiffs - believed to be the most members of Congress to ever sue a sitting president - contend that Mr Trump has ignored a constitutional clause that prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts, or emoluments, from foreign powers without congressional approval.
