Democrats are raising alarms about President Trump's acceptance of a lavish Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Qatar, describing it as a significant violation of the Emoluments Clause. The aircraft, once owned by the Qatari royal family, is seen as a 'flying palace' and has drawn bipartisan criticism, including from some conservatives. Rep. Ritchie Torres has called for investigations, condemning the perceived corruption and demanding a formal review by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
