“Trump reportedly owns or possesses an interest in several hundred companies, many of which do some business in foreign countries, with entities controlled by foreign governments. Trump neither divested his investments nor did he put his investments in a blind trust: Putting your adult children in charge of your business holdings, as he has, is a far cry from blind trust. That is just outsourcing to your family.”
Why the emoluments clause will not end Trump’s presidency (nbcnews.com)
I am not saying that either Trump or Biden violated the emoluments clause, I am just showing the argument was made.
I believe a close family member benefitting from a President or VP who deals with a foreign country, giving out preferences, is in fact a political issue and that is why it is in the Politics forum.
