Chuck Schumer says he is placing a hold on Trump DOJ nominees amid questions on Qatar's luxury jet gift
Schumer also called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before Congress and answer a number of questions related to the potential gift.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday he is placing a hold on all Trump Justice Department nominees as he seeks answers on the administration's plan to accept a luxury jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One.
"In light of the deeply troubling news of a possible Qatari-funded Air Force One, and the reports that the Attorney General personally signed off on this clearly unethical deal, I am announcing a hold on all DOJ political nominees, until we get more answers,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
The minority leader presented a list of questions and demands he says the Trump administration must respond to before he lifts his hold on nominees.

So he's pretending to do his job for a few days until the next scandal(s) comes out and we all get distracted from the plane.
SO this ass is finally doing something..... not when he was tearing down democracy... not when he was killing the economy and destroying our relationships with the world... not when he's taking away people's rights or shipping people off to countries for concentration camps... but boy, talk planes and Chuck is all over that.
No more strongly worded letters for Mr Tough Guy. Watch out.
Wait, you can do that? You could do that all this time?
"We were waiting until it was important."
The nominee he should have blocked is already in place, Qatar lobbyist Pam Bondi.
his statement, along with all the dinos in appointing GOP appointees, is "i continue supporting the left, by approving every gop appointee"
Fuck Schumer.
I presume Schumer is upset by the accusations that he's spineless and wants to demonstrate that he does in fact possess a spine. That's made of pudding. And that he only breaks out when the stakes are low.
his spine consists of moneys bribed to him by the AIPAC.
I'm sure you can stack money higher than the virtues Schumer stands for.
he will say " i consider supporting the GOP, which is supporting the left, that will allow me to leech of the grift that is trump"
a"hold" so you arnt planning to block him 100%. stop virtue signalling and admit you support the gop.
Chuck "my job is to keep the left pro-genocide" Schumer
Like the left most thumb on the right hand.
Theater
Get fucked chuck cuck.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has absolutely zero faith in this goober.
Chucky jealous of Donnie's new toy.
