Trump Asked to Return $7.8 Million Received from Foreign Governments

Rep. Jamie Raskin demands former President Trump to return funds received in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause.

Former President Donald Trump has been asked by Rep. Jamie Raskin to return $7.8 million he received from foreign governments during his presidency, which is considered a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause.
The payments were made to Trump's businesses, primarily his hotels and resorts, by countries including China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
Trump admitted to receiving the payments during a Fox News town hall, justifying them as payments for services rendered at his hotels.
Raskin has called for a full accounting of all payments, benefits, or other emoluments Trump received from foreign governments during his term as president.
The demand comes amidst Republican efforts to impeach President Joe Biden for allegedly receiving payments from foreign governments through his son, Hunter Biden, despite no evidence supporting these claims.
