Trump is in talks to accept a luxury Boeing 747 as a gift from the royal family of Qatar, a move CT Sen. Chris Murphy opposes.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer says he will hold up all Department of Justice nominations on the Senate floor until he gets more answers about the free Air Force One replacement that President Donald Trump says would be donated by Qatar.

"Can't beat free," one Republican senator said of the president's plan to accept the luxury gift from the monarchy of Qatar.

President Trump’s confirmation that the United States may accept a presidential aircraft gifted from Qatar marked the latest escalation in his clash with Boeing.

Trump would like the Defense Department to use the plane while he is in office and then have it donated to his presidential library and foundation.

The hold will only delay — but not block — the nominees from confirmation, with a simple majority vote of GOP senators able to overcome it.

The US is poised to accept a jet from Qatar. But legal experts previously told BI the reported gift raises both ethical and constitutional concerns.

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.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and GOP firebrand senators are among those voicing discomfort with the deal.
