President Donald Trump has made over $2 billion off of his position in the White House, and former ethics czar Norm Eisen says it's clearly just the start after his demand for a $230 million payout from the Justice Department.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that Trump is seeking some form of restitution from the DOJ for the numerous investigations he faced during his first term and afterward.

Speaking to MSNBC about the request on Wednesday, Eisen said, "Nobody's ever seen the kind of profit-grabbing exploitation of the presidency. By some estimates, approaching $2 billion of Donald Trump is profiting off the presidency."

The New Yorker calculated a total Trump cash-in of $3.4 billion in profits, if both administrations are combined.

"For example, where he's getting huge sums through those business enterprises that hit his pockets from Gulf nations, where we have strong interests," cited Eisen.

"But here, when he's grabbing, preparing to grab, might be grabbing $230 million grabbing $230 million from the American taxpayer, there's a constitutional barrier to that. You're not allowed to do it. It's called the Emoluments Clause," cited Eisen. "A president cannot seize that kind of money to benefit himself. Donald Trump just admitted it. What he just said that he's suing himself will be Exhibit A in the lawsuit."

He went on to recall suing the first Trump administration over the Emoluments issues and went all the way to the Supreme Court. Trump left office, and the issue was "mooted."

"But if he breaks the law, he will be held accountable, and so will those who are enabling this behavior. You have a 34-time convicted felon in connection with campaign finance violations. In that 2016 campaign, Stuart talked about that pattern of criminality, campaign finance violations, and cover-ups. What do you expect if he does it? There will be legal accountability," Eisen promised.

He recalled that he wouldn't even let President Barack Obama refinance his home in Chicago during the Great Recession because Obama technically regulated the banks.

Stuart Stevens, a Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Never-Trumper, compared Trump to Tony Soprano from the HBO drama of the early 2000s, "The Sopranos."

"If you had Tony Soprano as president, you have to ask yourself, what would Tony be doing differently. He probably would be more worried about his image than Trump," said Stevens. "So, look, this is just one more egregious criminal act. And I think the question we have to start asking ourselves is when this Trump period has passed, which it will, what is the structure that we are going to be able to erect to hold these people accountable?"
