Rep. Jamie Raskin alleged Trump businesses made $7.8 million from foreign governments like China and Saudi Arabia while he was president.

Raskin said this money fulfills "worst fears and nightmares" of founders about presidents being influenced by foreign payments.

He implied reported $7.8 million is just "scratching the surface" of foreign money Trump took in as president across 500+ businesses.

Raskin anticipated Trump defenders highlighting he did not take $400k presidential salary.

Raskin said founders wanted presidents paid only by Americans, not "bankrolled by Saudi monarchs and Chinese communist bureaucrats."
