Chuck Schumer says

Washington – Chuck Schumer, minority leader of the Senate, DN.Y., said on Tuesday that he will determine all the Ministry of Justice for Justice Ministry of Justice because he is looking for answers to the government's plan to accept a luxury jet from Qatar that is to be used as Air Force One.

“In view of the deeply disturbing news about a possible catarically financed Air Force One and the reports that the Attorney General has personally signed for this clearly unethical business, I cancel a stop at all political candidates of the doj until we receive more answers,” said Schumer in the Senate.

The minority leader presented a list of questions and claims to which the Trump government has to answer before holding its candidates.

“President Trump has informed the American people that this is “a free jet”. Does this mean that the Qataris deliver an aircraft with all already built -in security measures? If so, who installed these security measures and how do we know that they were properly installed? “Schumer asked.

Schumer cannot block these nominees with this tactic, but he can slow down their considerations. It is not really clear whether the judicial candidates would have been held for various other reasons, considering that the vast majority of the Trump candidates have already been held in this way.

The office of legal advisor at the DOJ has prepared a memo in which the acceptance of the aircraft was legal, a high -ranking Doj officer told NBC News on Monday. The doj refused to release the memo that attorney Pam Bondi approved.

In his comments on Tuesday, Schumer asked Bondi to testify before the congress to explain the conclusion that there is no conflict and to answer a number of questions about the gift.

“The Attorney General must testify both in front of the house and before the Senate to explain why the gift of Donald Trump, a private jet, does not violate the emrocers – for which the consent of the congress – or other ethics laws are necessary,” said Schumer. “Until the Attorney General declares their obvious decision and we receive complete and comprehensive answers to these and other questions, I will determine all political candidates to the Ministry of Justice.”

Schumer also accused the DoJ not to “do his work” in relation to the law on foreign agents and said that the unity that monitors compliance with the law and the public “not only involved in this luxury plane, but all business abroad are involved in the Middle East and President Trump, his family and the Trump organization.

The spokesman for the White House said for a comment on Tuesday and said: “Senator Schumer and his anti-in-law and regulatory party prioritize politics towards critical doj-names and hinder President Trump's make-safe agenda. Cryin 'Chuck has to end the poses, end the Senate Stonewalling and advance the security and the bourgeois rights of the Americans.”

The Ministry of Justice did not immediately answer a request for a comment.

Before Trump left the Middle East on Monday, he defended his decision to accept the aircraft gift, which he described as a “very beautiful gesture”. He also said that at some point it would be closed and handed over to its presidential library.

“Now I could be a stupid person and say:” Oh no, we don't want free aircraft, “he said in the White House.” I would never be one who rejects such an offer. “

Boeing had already worked on a plan to deliver Air Force One replacement, but the process was delayed and was over-budget. The company's CEO announced CNBC in January that it worked with Elon Musk to deliver it earlier than expected.

In the meantime, some legal experts have questioned how a gift from Qatar that would follow Trump from office could be permitted according to the sales clause. Democrats and even some Trump allies have proposed that the jet could be perceived as a conflict of interest.

Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a close ally of the President, told CNBC on Tuesday that “the plane has significant espionage and monitoring problems”.

Some Democrats have also questioned Bondi's commitment on this matter because it previously campaigned for the government of Qatar.

“She was a paid agent of the Qatarian government, a lobbyist before becoming a lawyer of the general attorney,” said Senate's minority of the Senate Peits Dick Durbin, D-il., On Tuesday. “We have asked questions that we asked how to clarify her ethics declaration with her relationship with Qatar, and I think that this aircraft business is really with this front and the center.”

Legislators and former intelligence officers notice the massive spy risks, which turned out to be more than they appeared through such a gift from a foreign government and the long history of the gifts. In 1945, the Soviet children gave the US ambassador in Moscow a wooden carving of America's large seal, and seven years later a hearing aid was discovered within the property.
