Why it matters: It's the most solid figure to date on the scope and scale of Trump's private windfall from foreign sources, which Democrats allege is a clear-cut violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause. Driving the news: The 156-page report titled "White House for Sale: How Princes, Prime Ministers, and Premiers Paid Off President Trump" draws on documents from Trump's accounting firm, Mazars, obtained after years of high-profile court battles. It lays out foreign payments to four Trump properties, two in New York, one in Washington, D.C., and one in Las Vegas, from at least 20 foreign governments or government-owned entities, including China, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Kosovo and the Democratic Republic of Congo. By far the largest chunk of the $7.8 million came from China, which spent nearly $5.6 million at Trump Tower in New York and Trump International Hotels in Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas.

When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
