Emoluments Clause projected onto Trump's DC hotel

By Paulina Firozi - 05/15/17 11:34 PM EDT

“Pay Trump Bribes Here” was projected onto the Trump hotel in Washington D.C. late Monday night. Photos shared on social media also showed the Constitution’s emoluments clause projected on the Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Ave., just blocks away from the White House.

The emoluments clause prohibits federal officials from taking payments from foreign governments. “No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And 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.”

Washington, D.C.-based artist Robin Bell posted on Twitter claiming to be behind the projections.
