The letters appeared above one of the entrances to the historic building, which is located just a few blocks from the White House. Other images emerged on social media showed a projection of the emoluments clause of the US constitution, which prohibits federal officials from taking payments from foreign governments.

The clause reads: “No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of The Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or Foreign State.” President Trump faces a lawsuit, filed by ethics watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, that alleges he violated the emoluments clause. The lawsuit suggest Mr Trump is violating the US Constitution by accepting payments from foreign governments through his hotel.
