President Donald Trump reiterated Tuesday that the jet gifted to him by Qatar is being given to the United States Air Force and the Department of Defense, suggesting that it would save American taxpayers money.

Converting a luxury jet gifted by Qatar to President Donald Trump into a replacement for Air Force One could potentially cost hundreds of millions of dollars and it could take up two years to install the necessary security equipment,

Sen. Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that "I am announcing a hold on all DOJ political nominees, until we get more answers" about a jumbo jet gift from Qatar.

President Donald Trump thinks it would be “stupid” to turn down a free airplane from Qatar. However, some experts have already warned that the plane could end up costing billions to retrofit and maintain.

Trump would like the Defense Department to use the plane while he is in office and then have it donated to his presidential library and foundation.

Justice Department nominees won't be confirmed until the Trump administration provides full transparency on "Qatari influence," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced on Tuesday.

ABC News reported on Sunday that Trump was ready to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar to be used as Air Force One. The report was met with swift backlash from liberals and even some MAGA loyalists, with many calling the gift a “bribe.”
