The Trump administration is preparing to accept a superluxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar as a gift to be used by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One for presidential travel until shortly before Trump leaves office.
Justice Department officials did not respond to a question from NBC News whether Trump’s acceptance of the plane could violate federal anti-bribery laws or the Constitution’s emoluments clause which bars the president and other federal officials from accepting gifts from foreign powers without the approval of Congress.
