Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh joins Tom at the start of today's show to explain why he’s suing President Donald Trump for breaching the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. He and District of Columbia Attorney General Karl A. Racine announced on Monday that they have filed a lawsuitagainst the president, claiming that his widespread business entanglements violate constitutional anti-corruption clauses.
This is one of two big lawsuits filed in the last couple of days. The other has been filed by nearly 200 congressional Democrats, who are also claiming that the President's global business holdings, and his failure to consult with Congress about them, violates the U.S. Constitution.
