(36,833 posts)The flurry of subpoenas came a day after U.S. District Court Judge Peter J. Messitte approved a brisk schedule for discovery in the case alleging that foreign and domestic government spending at Trumps Washington, D.C., hotel amounts to gifts to the president in violation of the Constitutions emoluments clause.
The subpoenas target 37 entities, including 13 Trump-linked entities and the federal agency that oversees the lease for Trumps Washington hotel. Subpoenas were also being sent to the Department of Defense, General Services Administration, Department of Commerce and Department of Agriculture, all of which have spent taxpayer dollars at the hotel or have information on Trumps finances relevant to the case.
Other Trump entities that officials plan to subpoena include those related to his Washington hotel and its management. Eighteen private entities including restaurants, venues and hotels that compete with the Trump hotel are also being subpoenaed to illuminate the unfair nature of that competition, said Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh.

(19,190 posts)This is how TrumpCo. will get hurt. Badly. He's one of the most crooked businessmen in NYC, and that's saying something. He always gets away with it because he runs such a tangled snake's nest of businesses no one can decipher it. Until now. The Federal government has the resources New York City and State can't commit to one person's holdings.
The Trump "empire" is about to crumble. It may take until he's out of office, but he, and the entire Trump family, are going down.
