A three-judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Friday sent a case accusing President Donald Trump of violating the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution back to the lower court.
In its order, the appeals court rejected the Department of Justice’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Democratic lawmakers. However, the court also found that Judge Emmet Sullivan had erred by not allowing the department to immediately appeal his prior rulings.
