2 attorneys general to subpoena Trump Organization, IRS

The attorneys general of the District of Columbia and Maryland plan to file subpoenas Tuesday seeking records from the Trump Organization, the Internal Revenue Service and dozens of other entities as part of a lawsuit accusing Donald Trump of profiting off the presidency.

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 Trump’s Washington, D.C., hotel amounts to gifts to the president in violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause.

The subpoenas target more than 30 Trump-linked private entities and the federal agency that oversees the lease for Trump’s D.C. hotel.

The Maryland attorney general’s office confirmed the targets of the subpoenas to The Associated Press as they were being prepared Tuesday.

Laughable and not because of my bias. Bush(s), Clintons and Obamas ALL have profitted from much more blatant and unethical activities.

The views and political BS coming from the democratic
politicians in Annapolis, do not represent the Patriots
of the eastern shore of MD. We will prevail...

Ironic since the office of the AG had so little interest in well documented suspicion of personal gain through public office within the jurisdictions of our own state of Maryland.

Nearly 70,000 sealed federal indictments {and growing} Pray with earnest, that some of those indictments are for the corrupt leaders that have been destroying the State of MD and committing crimes against its Citizens.

2:43 you should know that the Attorney General in MD is elected and does not report to the Governor. In fact, the Democrat legislature gave this AG the power to launch suits without consulting the governor, and a sizable budget to use in jousting at these windmills.

In this case, the President has an interest, large or small, in this hotel which predated his inauguration. He could have easily sued Obama for accepting book royalties during his WH residence.

More sophomoric symbolism from Frosh.

Hogan the Rogue, Miller and Busch allows this waste of tax dollars the whole time they steal from the State Employees Retirement Fund and attempt to screw over State Retirees health insurance. They don't care though they will still get theirs without reductions or more out of pocket expense. I am one of those stuck in MD till the day I die. What a Shame I cannot enjoy my retirement because of these crooks.

What the hell does MD care about Trump. Don't you people have your own problems. Someone subpoena this jerk . I bet as a DemicraD he is hiding some croocked deal. All poloticians should be required to spend 1 year of their term on the Eastern Shore. Get back to reality.

Obama never "achieved anything?" Are you really that dumb?

Obama only earned $3.2 Million in 8 years on a Presidents salary, but he owns 5 houses.

Obama paid $8.2 Million dollars for a house he was renting in Washington DC just after he was ousted from the White House and he stayed behind so he could harass President Trump. That house alone cost more than he made in the 8 years. Don't tell me his "book deals" either. Another thing, why did the property owner sell the house when he was satisfied by renting it out? That alone doesn't pass the smell test.

The supposedly bought their house in Chicago for $1.65 million.

Obama bought the oceanfront “Magnum P.I.” House, aka “Robin’s Nest” for their Hawaii Christmas vacations for $8.7 Million.

They own two other Multimillion dollar homes, one in California and another in the Chicago area.

Business Insider says "Former President Barack Obama has an estimated net worth of $40 million" "The Obamas are worth 30 times more than when they entered the White House in 2008" Please tell me how that happens? How does Obama increase their worth 30 times more in 8 years when most people can't do that. And again Anon 12:57 PM, you say Obama didn't "achieve" anything. I hope you don't vote!
