- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has placed a hold on all Trump Justice Department nominees while seeking answers about a luxury jet gift from Qatar.
- He demands an explanation from Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the legality of the gift under the Emoluments Clause and insists she testify before Congress.
- Schumer criticized the DOJ for failing to enforce the Foreign Agent Registration Act and called for greater transparency in foreign dealings.
- President Trump defended the jet as a 'very nice gesture,' stating it would eventually be used for his presidential library.
The Attorney General must testify before both the House and Senate to explain why gifting Donald Trump a private jet does not violate the emoluments clause — which requires congressional approval — or any other ethics laws.— Chuck Schumer, during his remarks on the Senate floor regarding the situation with Qatar.
