Justice Department nominees won't be confirmed until the Trump administration provides full transparency on "Qatari influence," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced on Tuesday.

President Trump signs deal with Qatar worth $1.2 trillion, including economic agreements with US companies and historic aircraft orders.

U.S. officials say it could be converted into a potential presidential aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One. The Qatari government said a final decision hadn’t been made.

The three energy-rich Gulf Arab nations are leveraging their influence over Trump to secure tangible gains, having built personal ties with the president and pledged trillions in US investments.

In a major economic move, U.S. President Donald Trump and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani signed agreements on Wednesday that the White House says will spark an economic exchange worth at least $1.
