Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) wrote to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the acting Department of Defense inspector general and the Office of Government Ethics requesting a probe into the matter.

"With an estimated value of $400 million, the aerial palace would constitute the most valuable gift ever conferred on a President by a foreign government," he wrote in a letter first obtained by Axios.

Torres asked for an "immediate" ethics review of the reported gift and an advisory opinion on whether it violates federal ethics rules or the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

He also asked for a recommendation on "policy reforms to prevent the conversion of foreign gifts into private property by current or former presidents."

I used to wonder if it was all just playing politics but now I wonder if they're really this stupid. Does Ritchie Torres of New York actually believe he has something here?

Plane won’t ever belong to President Trump. Will belong to US while he is in office and then be part of his library after.

They love making themselves look stupid.

Do people not realize that Trump has been working with world leaders for the past 50 years and that he actually has good friends and relationships from being in the private sector that actually love him as a friend?

Does he really think Trump is going to try to keep it? He's not a Biden.

Democrat seeks probe into reports France plans to gift statue to America.

Demands to know what all this “liberty” stuff is about.

“Resist!”

They are indeed idiots and to the extent they possess much self-awareness, I don’t think they care.

They are just trying to throw any spike strips out on the road that they can.

How much money did Qatar give to the Clinton Foundation?

Then add the amount that they paid the Clintons for speeches.

You people laugh at this shite but it’s true.. foreign leaders and business leaders love the Trump family. Of course democrats would not understand this because the entire world hates Democrat’s fricking guts because they are not likable people to be around and do business with.

while working at a large corporation, an exquisite figure was developed by a local site representing a corporate value, but was also PETA not friendly. What to do with it? Eventually it was awarded to a corporate manager in a public setting. Giving away stuff up the ladder can have multiple benefits.

Qatar had a 747 albatross that cost a whole lot to maintain. Giving it to trump/us govt was a cost avoidance project
