DOJ Clears Trump's Acceptance of Qatari Jet | JQJO

The Justice Department cleared Attorney General Pam Bondi's memo endorsing President Trump's acceptance of a luxury jet from Qatar. The Office of Legal Counsel pre-approved the memo, and ethics officials found no conflict of interest despite Bondi's past lobbying for Qatar. This follows a letter from Sen. Dick Durbin questioning Bondi's involvement and a hold placed on DOJ nominees by Sen. Chuck Schumer. While some Republicans also voiced concerns, the DOJ maintains the legality of the gift.
