Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York issued an ultimatum to President Donald Trump on Tuesday, pledging to hold up all Department of Justice nominees in the Senate until he gets more information about a $400 million luxury jet the Qatari royal family is giving to the U.

Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, said he would put a “hold” on nominations to the Justice Department in protest against Donald Trump’s plan to accept a jumbo jet from Qatar. Mr Schumer described the proposed gift as “so corrupt that even Putin would give a double take”.

Justice Department nominees won't be confirmed until the Trump administration provides full transparency on "Qatari influence," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced on Tuesday.
