                         TRUMP EMOLUMENT CLAUSE

  (Mr. ROBERT GARCIA of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for one minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROBERT GARCIA of California. Mr. Speaker, I recently joined 
colleagues on the House Oversight Committee in releasing a report 
confirming what we have known all along, that Donald Trump and his 
family, especially the Kushners, participated in the largest 
Presidential grift in history.
  We have records of 20 foreign governments funneling millions through 
Trump properties and into Donald Trump's pockets while he was 
President, all in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
  This is just the tip of the iceberg. We have only been able to access 
payments and illegal gifts from four Trump properties. Trump owns 
hundreds of properties and businesses.
  Despite the different cover-ups, we can still prove that Trump and 
Jared Kushner were making national security decisions while he and his 
family were getting bribes and paid by the same foreign powers. 
Millions were being spent by countries like China and Saudi Arabia, and 
we need immediate answers on why Jared Kushner got a $2 billion Saudi 
investment fund just months after leaving the White House.
  We have been raising the alarm on this issue over and over. The 
corruption is unacceptable, and we must hold the Trump crime family 
accountable.
