Espionage, constitutional concerns abound from Trump detractors, allies over Qatari jet offer
Fox News
President Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400M jet from Qatar sparks debate over constitutional legality and espionage risks, with mixed reactions from both political parties.
Reports spread Sunday morning that the Trump administration was expected to accept a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar's royal family, setting off concerns that Trump would personally take ownership of the plane and violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution. ABC News reported that Trump would use the jet until the end of his term, when it would be given to his presidential library.
Trump confirmed and clarified in a Truth Social post later on Sunday that the Department of Defense was slated to receive the gift, while slamming Democrats for their criticism of the offer.
