Justice Department lawyers say the president is not breaking the law when foreign officials book rooms at his hotel in the capital because he is not trading favors in exchange for a benefit.
The competing arguments came during a federal court hearing Monday in Maryland as attorneys parsed the definition of the anti-corruption emoluments clause, a once-obscure provision that now is a pivotal issue in several lawsuits taking aim at the president’s business dealings.
U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte is expected to decide this summer whether the case brought by D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine (D) and Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh (D) can move forward after a hearing that touched on land deals involving George Washington and on dictionary definitions from the 1770s.

Brian Frosh stop wasting the tax payers money to fit your agenda.
Suck it, libs!
This Frosh is a joke. Proves how idiotic MD voters are to have voted such an imbecile into office. Of all the real problems MD has leave it to a democrat to waste time and tax payers money on something even a first year law student knew was frivolous. But since Frosh's a democrat he will dishonestly file a lawsuit just to show off and try to make a name for himself because he's a little man. Democrats are such filth. None have ever served a useful purpose and none ever will. They all need to be thrown out of the government just like the putrid worthless trash that they are.
