“There’s a limit on blatant corruption”: Raskin demands Hegseth return Trump’s Qatari jet

Representative Jimmy Raskin warned the Minister of Defense Higseth House He may face millions of fines if he does not return a talented luxury katari to the Trump administration.
In a message sent on WednesdayDemocrat Maryland and member of the House of Representatives Control Committee said that Higseth could be a “hook” for the full cost of the plane, about $ 400 million. Raskin said that accepting the gift “fly in the face of the” constitution “and more than 200 years of practice by former presidents. The actor wrote that the “sound sense” should have shown Higseth that accepting the gift was against the law.
Higseth accepted luxury aircraft from the Qatari government in May. Donald Trump He said he intends to use the plane as Air Force One, and Pentagon officials guarantee that the plane It will be appropriate with appropriate security measures. Democrats argue The Americans cost up to one billion dollars and will require the “cutting angles” in its attempts to connect the civilian plane to the sneakfast.
There were signs that Trump officials and the Qatari government knew that they were wart of mysterious water. Before completing the deal, Qatar officials insisted on a Memorandum of Understanding Determining that the Trump administration followed what you call Raskin, the “persuasion campaign” to request the gift.
Democrats are not alone in their criticism. Senator Ted CruzR -TEXAS, expressed his concerns about talented aircraft. In his message, Raskin states that other right -wing characters, such as PodCaster Ben Shapiro, are not satisfied with the president’s actions.
Raskin wrote: “Even within the current administration, there is an end to the extent of blatant corruption and self -dealing that the American people can witness without someone demanding the consequences.”
The actor put two tracks to work for Higseth: returning the plane or obtaining the approval of Congress on the gift. Continue warning that Higseth may not be as safe as it appears.
