Surprising, honestly. Seems like an easy case to get rid of on standing grounds.

So...if the case wins, Trump has to divest himself of Trump Org?

Yeah. I'd always assumed standing would be nigh-impossible to show in this emoluments case; the harm to MD and DC seems too remote in my estimation. I.e., I'm surprised the attorneys general for MD and DC were able to show causation.

I have to imagine this bodes well for making the case against Trump legally. I was under the impression the matter of standing was the main obstacle to nailing him on this issue.

All the roads are leading back to Trump. It's great that this court is finding it has jurisdiction.
