A report from the House Oversight Committee has disclosed that businesses tied to former President Donald Trump received at least $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments during his presidency, potentially violating the Constitution's ban on foreign emoluments. The payments, which originated from officials and state-linked entities of 20 countries over a span of two years, saw China as the largest contributor. Chinese entities, including a holding company that spent nearly $200,000 at Trump’s Las Vegas hotel and payments from China's Embassy and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, accounted for over $5.5 million spent at Trump-owned properties. This was more than nine times the amount spent by Saudi Arabia, the second-largest spender. The findings raise concerns about potential violations of the U.S. Constitution's emoluments clause, which prohibits federal officeholders from receiving gifts or payments from foreign states without the consent of Congress. The Supreme Court dismissed two cases on this issue in 2021 without a definitive ruling on whether Trump illegally profited from his presidency.
