Senate Democrats ask for research into the role of Pam Bondi in Qatar Jet donated to Trump

A group of Senate Democrats asked the Inspector General of the Ministry of Justice on Wednesday to investigate the role of Attorney General Pam Bondi in the decision of the Trump government to accept a free luxury Jet from Qatar to serve as an air force.

In a letter, Democrats found in the Ethical Committee on Ethical questions about the gifted plane and expressed their concern about reports that Mrs Bondi gave legal guidelines that approved a plan for the plane to eventually be transferred to President Trump’s library after he had left his office.

“These reports increase the disturbing possibility that the Department, and attorney -general Bondi personally, could be an integral part of this schedule by a legal justification to enable the president to enable the foreign emolument clause of the Constitution, the federal bribery and ethics in our history of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts of one of the greatest of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts of one of the greatest of one of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts of one of the largest gifts. The New York Times.

The letter was led by Senator Adam Schiff from California and was also signed by Richard J. Durbin van Illinois, Cory Book of New Jersey, Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut, Mazie Hirono van Hawaii, Alex Padilla or California, Peter Welch van Vermont and Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhodehouse.

It came when the United States formally accepted the gift of the Jet, of which the industrial managers are worth around $ 200 million, and which require extensive work before it can be deemed safe enough to wear Mr Trump.

The senators doubted Mrs Bondi’s involvement, given her earlier work as a lobbyist who counted Qatar among her customers. Every role she played in the transfer of the plane, the senators wrote, was a “normal conflict of interest that undermines the trust of the public.”

Members of the congress of both parties have repeatedly expressed concern about the aircraft agreement. They have said that the Qataris may be trying to influence Mr Trump, that it may not be financially wise to revise the aircraft with necessary security measures to eventually transfer it from the government service and that Mr Trump’s urgent wish could put pressure to a new aircraft contractors to work quickly and reduce the corners.

Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat from New York and the minority leader, has already focused on the involvement of Mrs. Bondi and announced that he would place the nominees of the Ministry of Justice until Mrs. Bondi explained why she approved the scheme. The effects of his relocation would probably be limited, so that the nominations are delayed by demanding from the Republican majority of the Senate that they take procedural votes.

On Monday, Mr Schumer introduced a bill that would essentially block the deal by breaking the Pentagon to use federal dollars to buy, adjust or maintain such an aircraft for the use of the president.

Other democratic legislators have also not introduced binding resolutions that would require the White House to request approval before the aircraft is accepted as a gift.
