Donald Trump: Accepted a Boeing 747-8 reported to be worth about $400 million as a gift from the government of Qatar, to be fitted out as a temporary Air Force One and later transferred to his presidential library foundation. He said the plane was a gift from a nation, Qatar, to the Department of Defense and not to him. Ethics specialists and members of Congress of both parties said it was likely to breach the Foreign Emoluments Clause, which bars a federal officeholder from accepting a gift from a foreign state without the consent of Congress.
