U.S. Court of Appeals orders stay in Emoluments lawsuit brought by Maryland, D.C.

The 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals granted a halt Thursday to proceedings in the so-called Emoluments Clause lawsuit brought against President Donald Trump.
The suit by Maryland and the District of Columbia alleges that Trump violated a constitutional prohibition on profiting from his post by doing business with foreign governments.
Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh filed the case in 2017 with D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine.
In Tuesday’s order, signed by law clerk Patricia S. Connor, the court said parties will need to argue the very basis for the lawsuit, namely, their right to seek relief from Trump.
Oral arguments for the case are scheduled for March 19.
