While Trump Hails is planning to accept the Qatar -the congress is sitting on the side

The president was accused of dangling the exclusive access to the White House for a lot of money. Members of the congress were properly outraged, and a prominent Republican attacked him that he “probably used one of the more sacrosankt places in America” ​​to save in cash in cash. This was followed by months of top -class hearings of the congress.

That was in 1997 when President Bill Clinton had examined the invitation from donors to stay in the famous Lincoln bedroom of the White House overnight, which led to a firestorm around the claims that he shamelessly exploited the presidency.

Almost three decades later, President Trump has raised accusations for corruption and self-house for publicly flirting flirting flirting with the acceptance of a luxury jet of $ 400 million from Qatar and the promise of an exclusive Country Club evening meal and a tour of the White House for the largest buyers in his crypto coin.

But the Republicans who control the congress do not yet hurry to convene investigative committees. As is so often the case, when Mr. Trump's actions or words put him in the middle of a controversial, the TOP -GOP legislators are in no hurry to question the president or to strengthen criticism.

“This is hypothetics,” said the majority leader of the Senate, John Thune from South Dakota, on Tuesday when he was asked if he felt comfortable with the shift of the jet. If the matter goes beyond the hypothetical level, he said: “I can assure you that it will be checked a lot of what this arrangement could look like.”

For those who were caught in frenzy years ago over the bedroom in Lincoln, the acceptance of Mr. Trump's activities within his own party, told the least, is discouraging.
