House Oversight Committee Democrats released a report showing that Trump’s businesses received millions from foreign governments while he was in office, in violation of the Emoluments Clause.
The report found that China was the leading spender.
House Democrats are unable to continue the investigation due to being in the minority, and they are hoping that Senate Democrats will use their power to recover hidden information.
Rep. Raskin said, “I am hopeful that our colleagues in the Senate will explore any avenues they may have to recover the hidden information.”
“Trump’s brazen pocketing of foreign government payments was an insult and affront to both the House and Senate, which together have the sole power to approve or disapprove such payments,” he continued.
Senate Democrats have the ability to investigate and issue subpoenas, but no action appears imminent.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden has expressed the need for scrutiny of Trump’s ties to autocratic regimes.
The question remains whether Senate Democrats will take the matter seriously.
