Caprice Roberts on Remedies for Emoluments Violations

In this episode, Caprice L. Roberts, Visiting Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School, discusses her article "Disgorging Emoluments," which will be published in the Marquette Law Review. Roberts begins by explaining what "emoluments" are and briefly describing the current controversy over improper emoluments allegedly received by President Trump. She observed that many commentators have discussed whether or not Trump received emoluments, but none have discussed what should happen if he did. In particular, what remedies would be appropriate and why. She argues that disgorgement would be the most appropriate remedy under the circumstances.
