Hi,

BREAKING: The White House just announced that the next G7 meeting of world
leaders will be held...at a Florida resort owned by Donald Trump.^1

This is unprecedented — and totally unsurprising. Once again Donald Trump
is trying to profit personally from being president. This may well violate
the Constitution's "emoluments" clause, along with numerous other examples
of self-dealing.

But right now, the House impeachment inquiry is focused on the Ukraine
scandal. Trump has been getting away with a corrupt and unconstitutional
practice of making money off of his presidency, and we need to make sure
it's part of the impeachment process.

part of the impeachment inquiry!

This is just the latest in a long line of ways Trump is breaking the rules
in order to make money from being President of the United States.

Just last month we learned that the U.S. military was spending $11 million
at unusual stopovers at Trump's Scotland resort, part of a larger pattern
of military spending on Trump properties.^2

We also recently learned that Attorney General William Barr, when not busy
helping Trump undermine the impeachment inquiry, has planned an official
holiday party - at a Trump hotel.^3

In fact, profits at Trump's hotels have soared since 2016, particularly at
his hotel in Washington, D.C. near the White House, as big corporations
like T-Mobile with pending business with the Trump Administration spend
more of their time and money there.^4

This is likely just the tip of the iceberg, and a full Congressional
investigation as part of an impeachment inquiry might reveal even more
facts. But unless we speak up, House leaders may limit that inquiry to
just the Ukraine scandal - and we could lose an opportunity to hold him
accountable for his unconstitutional self-dealing.

Thank you for standing up to corruption.
