President Donald Trump being offered a luxury plane as a gift from Qatar's royal family has sparked legal scrutiny.

Taxpayers would likely foot the bill to retrofit President Trump's new jet, which could be more than twice the plane's $400 million value.

President Donald Trump’s confirmation Sunday that the United States may accept a presidential aircraft gifted from Qatar marked the latest escalation in his clash with Boeing, which is years behind on its government contract to build the new Air Force One.

President Donald Trump defended Qatar gifting the U.S. a jet to use as Air Force One as the new fleet is still under construction.

Donald Trump may soon receive a $400 million Boeing 747-8, dubbed a "flying palace," from Qatar, potentially circumventing constitutional restrictions on foreign gifts. Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly devised a plan involving the US Air Force temporarily owning the jet before transferring it to Trump's presidential library foundation.

On Monday's AC360 on CNN, host Anderson Cooper said a source told the network that Trump fully intends to use it after leaving office. The post Source Tells CNN Trump Will Use Air Force One Jet After Leaving Office – Despite President’s Insistence He Won’t first appeared on Mediaite.

The White House Correspondents Association says it is disturbed that no reporters from either The Associated Press, Bloomberg or Reuters were allowed on Air Force One to cover President Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East on Monday.
