AI Summary:
Trump administration says it has accepted a plane worth an estimated $400m from Qatar. White House says it would be used as the new Air Force One, then it would go to Trump’s presidential library after his term ends. The aircraft would become the most expensive gift from a foreign government ever to a US elected official. Legal experts say accepting the gift would violate the US Constitution’s emoluments clause. Experts differed on whether accepting the plane would be an impeachable offence. In his first term, Trump said payments were made to his businesses. Attorney General Pam Bondi approved a memo prepared by the agency’s Office of Legal Counsel. Bondi has previously lobbied on behalf of the state of Qatar. Trump has thanked Qatar for the jet.
