Two Major Lawsuits Facing President Trump Hinge on This Constitutional Question

By Tessa Berenson @ Time.com, June 14

President Donald Trump faces two very different lawsuits, but their outcomes could depend on the same unanswered constitutional question.

On Thursday, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood sued Trump and three of his children over allegedly misusing a family charity for personal business, such as paying off creditors.

That same day, New York’s highest court rejected an appeal from Trump’s lawyers to dismiss or delay a defamation case brought by former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos against Trump.

The two cases are underpinned by the same contention: a sitting president can be subject to a civil lawsuit in a state court. [....]

This decision is a very big deal not only because it allows the @SummerZervos defamation case to go forward (barring a @realDonaldTrump appeal to #SCOTUS), but it also cements the propriety of the major new suit by @NewYorkStateAG being brought in state—rather than federal—court. https://t.co/p1ACQuwAsc

[....]Mr. Trump immediately attacked the lawsuit, characterizing it in a Twitter post as an attempt by the “sleazy New York Democrats” to damage him by suing the foundation, vowing not to settle the case

Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump

The sleazy New York Democrats, and their now disgraced (and run out of town) A.G. Eric Schneiderman, are doing everything they can to sue me on a foundation that took in $18,800,000 and gave out to charity more money than it took in, $19,200,000. I won’t settle this case!...

....Schneiderman, who ran the Clinton campaign in New York, never had the guts to bring this ridiculous case, which lingered in their office for almost 2 years. Now he resigned his office in disgrace, and his disciples brought it when we would not settle.
