The House Democrats on the Oversight Committee have released an extensive 156-page report alleging that former President Donald Trump unconstitutionally enriched himself through the presidency.
The report, the result of a nearly seven-year investigation, contends that Trump exploited his position to generate millions for his business empire from foreign governments.
According to the findings, Trump’s businesses received a minimum of $7.8 million from governments with questionable practices, including China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
The investigation, based on records and documents obtained by House Oversight Democrats, uncovers what they describe as a complex network of payments from foreign governments and their representatives directly to Trump-owned enterprises while he occupied the White House, Yahoo News reported.
The report highlights China as the top contributor, with payments exceeding $5.5 million at Trump Tower in New York and two hotels in Washington and Las Vegas.
House Oversight Democrats specifically accuse Trump of violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which prohibits the president from profiting from foreign governments without congressional approval.
According to Democrats, an upcoming report will center on payments received by Trump from domestic government sources. The timing of the release for this report remains uncertain.
