- Reposted by Dave WenningSen. Dick Durbin is asking Attorney General Bondi how she came to the conclusion that the Qatari gift of a $400 million jet to Trump would be "legally permissible." Durbin asks Bondi if she recused herself from the matter because she previously worked as a lobbyist for Qatar.
