Pelosi promotes video of Fox News legal analyst slamming Trump’s Doral location for G-7 meeting

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tweeted out a video of Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano slamming President Trump’s decision to host next year’s Group of 7 (G-7) Summit at his Trump National Doral resort in Florida. 

“The Constitution is clear: the President cannot accept gifts or payments from foreign governments. No one is above the law,” Pelosi wrote in her tweet.

{mosads}The accompanying Fox News video segment in her tweet featured Napolitano, who called Trump’s move a violation of the Emoluments Clause.

“The purpose of the Emoluments Clause is to keep the President of the United States of America from profiting off of foreign money … not in the campaign, but in some event or entity that he controls or is running,” Napolitano told Fox News host Neil Cavuto.

“This is about as direct and profound a violation of the Emoluments Clause as one could create,” Napolitano also said.
