US EditionDem senators demand Pentagon watchdog look into Trump’s acceptance of Qatar plane
- House Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, launched an inquiry into President Trump’s acceptance of an expensive private aircraft valued at $400 million that was provided by the government of Qatar in May 2025.
- The inquiry follows concerns over potential bribery and constitutional violations under the Foreign Emoluments Clause related to this foreign gift.
- Critics, including some of Trump's allies, warn the jet poses national security risks and could cost hundreds of millions more to retrofit and secure.
- Trump justified accepting the plane as a no-cost benefit for the nation, arguing that only someone foolish would turn down such a generous offer on behalf of the country.
- The controversy has led to bipartisan criticism, congressional holds on nominations, and calls to scrutinize any legal justifications behind accepting the Qatari jet.
