The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed two cases over whether former President Donald Trump unlawfully profited from his businesses while in office.

The suits, which were brought by a nonprofit as well as the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia, alleged that the former president violated the Constitution's emoluments clauses.Maryland, D.C. and Citzens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the nonprofit which brought one of the cases, urged the justices not to hear the matter.

Maryland and D.C. alleged that Trump violated that prohibition by receiving money when guests — often foreign officials — stayed at his hotel in Washington. Two federal appeals courts, based in New York and Richmond, issued rulings advancing the cases. In September, the Justice Department asked the top court to reverse those rulings and throw the disputes out.
