Listen as Larry spoke with Richard Kelsey, the Former Assistant Dean of George Mason’s School of Law & founder of CommittedConservative.com, regarding Attorney General Brian Frosh and Attorney General Karl A. Racine suing President Trump over alleged foreign payments.
During the interview, Kelsey labeled the lawsuit against President Trump, ‘meritless’:
O’Connor: What is the Emoluments Clause and why do we care today?
Kelsey: Well the Emoluments Clause … First of all, the controversy involving the Emoluments Clause is a bit of a ruse. However, the Emoluments Clause itself actually is in the Constitution, which is a unique flavor by the way for many on the left that like to find things in the Constitution that don’t exist. The problem in this instance is that the Emoluments Clause, which was really designed to prevent a President from being a paid lackey for lack of a better way to describe it, of a foreign power, is in there to protect Americans to make sure that you haven’t been knighted by the Queen of England or that you’re not on the take from another country. And what we have now is a fresh lawsuit from Maryland and D.C. suggesting that the President is receiving emoluments and is being unduly influenced. And really the case is, to put it politely, meritless.
