The Flying Palace is a clear Violation of the Emoluments Clause

To: Rep. Joyce, Sen. Moreno, Sen. Husted

From: A constituent in Concord Township, OH

May 13, 2025

This is straightforward and urgent: Donald Trump must not be allowed to accept a $400 million "gift" from the Qatari royal family. Congress must act immediately to stop this and launch a full, independent investigation—including public hearings and the appointment of a special counsel. We need clear answers: What did Trump promise a foreign government in return for a flying palace? Does this deal violate bribery laws or the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause? And how did government lawyers at the DOJ and White House sign off on this—especially with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s past ties to lobbying for Qatar? From the very beginning of our nation, Americans have rejected the idea of leaders being bought by foreign powers. This isn’t diplomacy—it’s a fire sale. If you think Qatar is giving Trump a luxury jet out of kindness, you’re being played. This is brazen, public corruption. Congress must act. Now. Otherwise, they are complicit in the selling off of American democracy.
