‘Extortion’: Bush White House lawyer wants to ‘haul in’ Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr.

Painter's argument against Donald Trump—and his family—focused on the Constitution's Emoluments Clause,
which states that "no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign state.

Of the many offenses Painter listed, he said that Trump's offspring should also be prosecuted under the Emoluments Clause.

"This president has been receiving profits and benefits from foreign governments, and that's unconstitutional," he said.

He felt the family needed to answer for "the unconstitutional emoluments, foreign benefits, foreign government payments that the Trump family has been receiving in violation of the constitution."

"Members of his family have been receiving profits and benefits from foreign governments."

Painter also argued that if Republicans seek to prosecute former VP Joe Biden & his son, Democrats should be prepared to reciprocate.

Hello! let's play the prosecution game!😂👍⚖️
"If the Republicans in the Senate want to haul Joe Biden in there & his son Hunter, I look forward to the Democrats hauling in Ivanka Trump & Jared [Kushner], Eric Trump, Don Jr.," he said.

Now this is what I'm talking about! Richard knows the game...let's roll those subpoenas!

Painter argues the hearings made a strong case for impeaching Trump for “extortion and bribery” and for “obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation,”

but adds he should also be impeached for the “unconstitutional emoluments, foreign benefits, and foreign government payments that the Trump family has been receiving.”
