U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan sided with Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday by allowing their broader definition of “emolument” over the narrow one Trump's legal team used.

A federal judge on Tuesday allowed congressional Democrats to proceed with their lawsuit against President Donald Trump alleging that his private businesses violate the Constitution’s anti-corruption ban, which disallows gifts or payments received from foreign governments.

The lawsuit—filed last year by Democratic lawmakers—asked the judiciary to ban Trump from receiving private business payments made by foreign entities that violate the Constitution’s emoluments clause without approval from Congress. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, and Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, championed the suit.

After he was inaugurated in 2017, Trump, unlike his precesssors, refused to sever ties with his business or financial interests that could present the appearance of a conflict of interest. Although the president turned over day-to-day management of such businesses—including the hotel, office, golf and residential properties he owns—to other agents, the assets are still maintained in a family-managed trust, which Trump can revoke at any time he chooses.
