A fresh legal storm is brewing as former President Donald Trump is reportedly set to receive a $400 million Boeing “floating palace” from Qatar. The role of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has come under scrutiny for “green-lighting” the controversial deal, over her previous role as a Lobbyist for the Qatari government. Senate Democrats had earlier flagged her failure to disclose these ties. As negotiations between the U.S. and Qatar continue, and with Trump’s upcoming visit to the Gulf nation, questions over legality, foreign influence, and ethics are intensifying.
