Attorney General Pam Bondi gave Donald Trump the green light to accept a $400 million “flying palace” as a gift from Qatar.
ABC News reported that the Qatar royal family is expected to gift Trump a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet ahead of his big trip to the Middle East, where he is expected to visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar to secure “economic agreements.”
Bondi and Trump’s top White House lawyer, David Warrington, have already smoothed the legal details. They concluded that the gift is “legally permissible” because it is being handed to the United States Air Force and then will be transferred to Trump’s presidential library foundation. They also determined it does not constitute a bribe because the gift does not hinge on an official act.
Yeah, but, you see, it’s the air force that’s getting the gift, it’s just meant for orange Hitler’s exclusive use. That’s clearly not a gift to him personally. /wink
And they’ve stated in advance that the Air Force won’t continue to own it after Trump to benefit the United States.
