In a LegalEagle sit-down, Rep. Jamie Raskin says Trump now wants $10 billion even though the person involved is already in jail, a sum Raskin says is more than half the IRS's budget this year. He asked Attorney General Bondi whether that would violate the domestic emoluments clause, which limits the president to his salary. Raskin says she declined to comment, and notes it's live litigation.

So he's in jail, but for Trump that's not enough now. He wants $10 billion, which I think is a majority of the IRS's budget for this year. So I asked Attorney General Bondi whether she thought this would violate the domestic emoluments clause, which of course confines the president to his salary and office and says in the Constitution that it cannot be increased in anyway. He cannot get any other money from the federal government or from state governments. He's limited to a salary. Well, as I suspected she would, she said she wouldn't comment on that. And that's live litigation, a live cause of action.
