Trump’s Qatar Plane Gift Sparks Scrutiny of Pam Bondi’s Lobbying Ties
Attorney General Pam Bondi’s past lobbying work for Qatar, earning $115,000 monthly, has resurfaced amid reports of a potential $400 million luxury plane gift from Qatar to President Trump. This raises concerns about conflicts of interest and foreign influence, particularly given Bondi’s role in determining the legality of the arrangement. Critics point to Bondi’s prior undisclosed ties to Qatar and question her impartiality in assessing the gift’s compliance with US law. The Department of Justice maintains the transaction is legal if processed through the Department of Defense, while the matter remains under review by relevant legal departments.
