WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday vowed to block all of President Donald Trump's nominees to the Justice Department until the agency reports what it knows about Qatar's offer to give Trump's administration a $400 million airplane.

Despite flying for more than 35 years, the current pair of Air Force One jets remain one of the safest and secure aircraft in the world.

“The White House said the royal family of Qatar is giving President Trump a $400 million luxury jet that he will use as Air Force One and then keep once he leaves office,” the comedian began to boos and oohs. “Everyone’s rightfully focused on the plane, but, to me, the big headline is that he’ll eventually leave office.”
