Schumer also called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before Congress and answer a number of questions related to the potential gift.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday he is placing a hold on all Trump Justice Department nominees as he seeks answers on the administration’s plan to accept a luxury jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One.
"In light of the deeply troubling news of a possible Qatari-funded Air Force One, and the reports that the Attorney General personally signed off on this clearly unethical deal, I am announcing a hold on all DOJ political nominees, until we get more answers,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
The minority leader presented a list of questions and demands he says the Trump administration must respond to before he lifts his hold on nominees.
The nominee he should have blocked is already in place, Qatar lobbyist Pam Bondi.
his statement, along with all the dinos in appointing GOP appointees, is “i continue supporting the left, by approving every gop appointee”
