US PRESIDENT Donald Trump faces a fresh legal battle with lawmakers from two states threatening to sue him over allegations he violated anti-corruption clauses of the Constitution.
The Washington Post reports attorneys general for the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland are alleging President Trump has accepted millions in payments and benefits from foreign governments since moving into the White House.
