A daily reminder that Trump is violating the Constitution.

The Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., and its owner are under scrutiny by a federal judge. That's because Trump's ownership of it could be a violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause—state and foreign government payments to the hotel could amount to illegal gifts to Trump.

Now the hotel, and its owner, are getting attention for the millions in fines they paid out, right around the inauguration, for not paying contractors who renovated the property. In late January, the hotel paid out more than $3 million to settle liens against, and in "one case, a contractor reached an agreement after receiving a phone call from someone his attorney identified as 'Trump.'"
