https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/15/trump-emoluments-dc-maryland-047507https://archive.is/9f7vSA federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit that the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland brought against President Donald Trump in which they alleged that he violated the Constitution’s ban on federal officials profiting from dealings with foreign and state governments.
The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Richmond, Va., announced on Tuesday that the full bench of the court would hear arguments Dec. 12 on Trump’s effort to stymie the litigation filed in a federal court in Maryland in 2017 and focused largely on patronage of his luxury Trump International Hotel in the nation’s capital.
The announcement of the “en banc” rehearing effectively set aside a ruling that a three-judge panel of the same appeals court had issued in July. Those judges ordered the case dismissed as fatally flawed, contending that the states had no legal right to enforce the so-called emoluments clauses in the Constitution.

Last month, the New York-based Second Circuit revived a similar lawsuit that had been dismissed by a federal District Court judge in Manhattan. That suit was brought by restaurant owners and hospitality industry workers, as well as a watchdog group.
