'Couldn't Be More Flagrant' - Former DOJ Official on Trump's $400M Foreign Gift Andrew Weissmann - America at a Crossroads
Former DOJ official and legal scholar Andrew Weissmann breaks down what he calls a “flagrant” violation of the U.S. Constitution: a reported $400 million gift — a luxury jet — from Qatar to Donald Trump.
Weissmann explains how this deal raises serious questions under the Emoluments Clause, why it matters, and what makes this case different from other allegations. With sharp legal insight you won’t hear on cable news, he outlines the constitutional stakes and the challenge of enforcing accountability at the highest levels of power. - 05/18/2025.
