US Appeals Court Sides with Trump in Lawsuit Involving Hotel

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A federal appeals court has thrown out a lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of illegally profiting off the presidency. In a significant legal victory for Trump, a three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by a federal judge in Maryland, who said the lawsuit could move forward. The appellate panel said Wednesday that Maryland and the District of Columbia lack standing to sue. Trump tweeted that he’s won “a big part … of the Witch Hunt.”
