ACCUSAL: Trump took MILLIONS from China while president

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The report shows that Trump took in $5.5 million from Chinese interests through his businesses during his four years in office, including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), which retained tenancy in Trump Tower.
47% : Despite the Constitution's requirement that a president disclose foreign emoluments and seek Congress's consent to keep them, it took Oversight Committee Democrats years of aggressive litigation against the former President to obtain the subset of documents from Mazars, Donald Trump's accounting firm, that form the factual basis of this report.
47% : According to a report by Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington (CREW) last year:"For example, while campaigning in 2015, Trump bragged to a crowd in Alabama about his longstanding business ties with the Saudis. '
46% : Stephanie Bazzle Steph Bazzle is a news writer who covers politics and theocracy, always aiming for a world free from extremism and authoritarianism.
45% : However, a new report by House Democrats shows Trump is the one who financially benefitted from China during his presidency.
37% : The document explains that when Republicans took over the House of Representatives, and James Comer became the Chair of the Committee, he excused Mazars from providing any further documents, effectively stopping the Committee from learning any more about how Trump used the White House to profit from foreign nations.
36% : Yet in a feat of projection, Trump aims the same allegations -- except, of course, without evidence -- at the incumbent President.
29% : The report notes that Trump was asked by Republicans to exert pressure on Chinese banks to stop the North Korean missile program, but he would not act against his tenant, ICBC.
23% : But if Trump does somehow return to the White House, this report could form the basis for an immediate call for impeachment by Democrats.
6% : Donald Trump calls his political opponent "China Joe," and in fact, this week accused (without evidence) President Biden of criminally receiving money from China.
