💨 Abstract

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has placed a hold on Department of Justice nominations due to concerns over President Donald Trump's plan to accept a luxury jetliner from Qatar to be used as Air Force One. Schumer argues the move could violate the emoluments clause and poses a national security threat. Critics, including some Republicans and conservative activists, express ethical concerns, given Qatar's support for Hamas. Democrats demand Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify, citing her past lobbying for Qatar.
