The senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, affirmed his intention to place all Trump’s political judicial nominated, calling the Qatar government that gave Trump a plane to use as Air Force One “so corrupt that even Putin would give a double shot.”
“In the light of the news deeply worrying of a possible air force funded in Qatar, and the reports that the Attorney General personally signed this clearly unusual agreement, I am announcing control over all the nominees of the Department of Justice, until we obtain more answers,” he said in the Senate.
Schumer also asked the attorney general PAM Bondi to testify to the Chamber and the Senate to “explain why give Donald Trump a private plane does not violate the emolument clause, which requires the approval of the congress, or any other ethics law.”
“Until the Attorney General explains his blatantly inept decision and we get complete and comprehensive answers to these and other questions, I will put a control over all political nominees to the Department of Justice,” said Schumer.
The senator described the Qatar plane agreement as the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to Trump’s business in the Middle East, which Schumer said “passionate about crooked enrichment.”
