#RHOA: Angela Oakley Reveals She's $2 Million in Debt, Can’t Sell Her 5 Investment Properties: 'I Am in Some Deep S---'
Angela Oakley is hoping the risk is worth the reward when it comes to her latest business venture.
In the May 11 episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the Bravo star checked in on one of the homes she remodeled after recently deciding to get into real estate. Explaining that she has flipped several houses already, Angela revealed that they haven’t exactly paid off yet.
“So I own five investment properties,” she said. “Most of them are ready for the market. It's just that the price that we are positioning them at hasn't been the most welcoming to the market, because I haven't sold any of them yet.”
She then dropped a bombshell: “I'm in debt $2 million, so I am in some deep s--- with these houses.”
While Angela put the final touches on what she hoped to be her big money-maker, Kelli Ferrell stopped by for a visit and was less than impressed.
“When do you think it'll be ready?” Kelli asked, unprepared for Angela’s surprising response: “It’s about to hit the market in the next 10 days.”
“Really?” Kelli wondered, sharing her true feelings in her confessional. “I mean, the ceilings are a little low. The kitchen is nice. I mean, it's cute, don't get me wrong.”
She then walked outside, where she was met with an unfinished yard. “Angela, the pool don't even have no water in it," she said.
Upstairs, Kelli gasped at the lack of closet space as Angela exclaimed, “Don’t beat me up too bad!”
“I am desperate to unload these houses,” Angela told cameras before revealing that the listing price was a whopping $3 million.
“I don’t know, girl. I don't know if you’re gonna get $3 million for this,” Kelli laughed.
Angela Oakley Claims Porsha Williams Accused Her Husband Charles of Cheating: 'I'm About to Go to War'
Later, Angela opened up about "the growing pains" in her relationship to husband Charles Oakley.
“Marriage is work, and you have to both decide to fight to make it work," she said. "The storybook romance that we grew up believing, it just does not exist.”
Angela previously discussed the challenges in her marriage, revealing that her new line of work had become a point of contention in their relationship.
“I want to show Charles like, ‘Look, look, this is working for us, don’t you see?’” she said in the March 23 episode of the hit reality show. “He invested his trust, he's invested his money. So showing him that I can get this done will you allow him to trust me more with my real estate endeavors.”
Because of the turmoil in the aftermath of the 2017 incident, which happened just one year after she and Charles got married, Angela explained that she wanted to have a vow renewal ceremony.
“Charles is holding our vow renewal over my head because he feels like we spent all this money on these houses, let's handle this first and then we can jump into something else,” she shared.
When she told him, “I know all these houses are in the way, but I really, really, really want to do that,” he replied, “We’ll see.”

#HipHopNews: Lil Wayne Accused Of Abusing Ex-Girlfriend, Kicking Her Out Of House
Lil Wayne has been accused by his ex-girlfriend Denise Bidot of being violent with her during their relationship.
On Instagram Live, the model made the claims after Wayne ended their relationship on Mother’s Day through text message.
Bidot said: “It’s not just the emotional abuse. This man has actually laid a fucking hand on me. And I took it. And you know what’s crazy is, they always say we’re so stupid for love, and I thought it was a mistake. But I know other women he’s put his hands on.”
She added: “I’m literally recovering from surgery. I can’t even lift boxes. But this man has his assistants coming to help kick us out today, and broke up with me on Mother’s Day through text. And her birthday’s next weekend. And I leave to New York this week for all the Sports Illustrated press. When I tell you that I am absolutely unsure on how to even process my emotions…”
Bidot also said: “I’ve been nothing but supportive to this man, loved him ‘til the end of the world. But, like, you literally flew me, uprooted me from New York City where I was living, and brought me here for this bullshit? Like, that’s crazy, you guys. Like, these men really be taking advantage.”
Lil Wayne’s fiancée model Denise Bidot claims he broke up with her and kicked her and her daughter out the mansion & onto the streets as a twisted Mother’s Day gift. She also claims he physically assaulted her in the past. She is now searching for a lawyer to sue. 👀 💰 pic.twitter.com/9axLXT7DdV— Rain Drops Media (@Raindropsmedia1) May 11, 2025
She also claimed that Wayne would be having “two girls flown in” to replace her.
Wayne has yet to respond to the assault allegations.
For her part, Bidot also asked her social media followers to recommend attorneys, suggesting that she is planning to sue Wayne over his alleged actions.
Wayne and Bidot first went public with their relationship in 2020 and the two have had an on and off relationship ever since.
It was reported that the couple had split following Wayne’s controversial endorsement of Donald Trump but they later reconciled.
It was also reported that Wayne and Bidot split in 2022 but they appear to have gotten back together since then.
Wayne has previously had high profile relationships with women such as singer Christina Milian, “Here We Go” rapper Trina and Nipsey Hussle’s future wife, Lauren London.

Al B. Sure! says Diddy was involved in Kim Porter’s death
Now that jury selection is underway and the sensationalized Diddy trial is ready, Al B. Sure! has dropped another bombshell theory on national TV.
The genius behind 1988’s classic In Effect Mode album strongly insinuates that Sean “Diddy” Combs had something to do with the death of former girlfriend Kim Porter. He also emphatically suggests that Diddy was also involved in his near-fatal coma condition.
The singer, who rocketed to fame in the late 1980s as a New Jack crooner with a melodious falsetto voice, was dating Porter then. They had a child together, Quincy Brown. Diddy eventually adopted the son in the 1990s while the Bad Boy boss and Porter were an item.
On Fox 5 New York, Sure! said he does not believe that Porter’s shocking and sudden death was a result of an illness.
“She was in the best of health. We just saw each other before her passing. We were actually celebrating our son’s new Netflix Christmas special.” When asked if he believed pneumonia was the true cause, the singer responded, “Absolutely not.”
Al B. Sure is a willing witness for prosecutors in the Diddy trial Sure! told the news station that Porter warned him about Diddy’s explosive temper and all-consuming jealousy and that she feared for her own life. However, there is no evidence to substantiate the claims. But the singer has already agreed to testify in the trial, which resumes on Monday, May 12.
He stated, “I’m the only one alive,” again making the not-too-subtle charge that others who tried to speak out against Diddy didn’t survive.
Additionally, Al B. Sure! is set to release a memoir titled Do You Believe Me Now? Later in the year, he plans to detail his experiences and allegations.

Charles Barkley Roasts Fraternity Members On Live TV: ‘A Bunch Of Damn Loser Dudes’*
Charles Barkley stirred up controversy Thursday night on “Inside the NBA” with a sharp takedown of fraternity culture.
“I don’t want to be in no fraternity,” he said bluntly. “A bunch of damn loser dudes getting together all the time.”
When co-host Kenny Smith defended Greek life by pointing to its community efforts, Barkley dismissed it:
“Knock it off. If they were that good, you’d join.”
Smith claimed he didn’t have time in college, prompting Barkley to jab,
“You were busy. Yeah, only losers join fraternities.”
Even Shaquille O’Neal and Smith’s mention of Michael Jordan’s frat ties didn’t sway him.
“Michael ain’t wasting his time with no fraternity,” Barkley said. “He might be, but he ain’t doing nothing with them bums.”
The heated moment turned hilarious when Smith joked Barkley lacked the GPA to pledge. Barkley fired back:
“I did. I averaged 20 points and 20 rebounds. That’s my grade point average.”

Wendy Williams posts Mother's Day message without mentioning son Kevin Hunter Jr
Wendy Williams’ official Instagram account posted a Mother’s Day message on May 10 — but noticeably omitted any mention of her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., amid their ongoing strained relationship.
The video, shared on her verified account, extended well wishes to mothers and thanked fans for their ongoing support. The caption read, “HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY TO ALL MOMS. We’d also like to take this time to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you who have gotten behind exposing this horrific situation.” The message acknowledged public engagement through prayers, comments, and petitions regarding Williams’ legal battles, and promised “updates coming soon.”
It is unclear whether Williams wrote the message herself or if it was managed by her social media team. The omission drew attention given Williams’ troubled relationship with her son. She has accused Kevin Jr. of financially exploiting her and contributing to her court-ordered guardianship.
Williams discussed the situation in an interview on the 2 Angry Men podcast with Harvey Levin and attorney Mark Geragos. She said she forgives Kevin Jr. despite the pain he caused. In the Saving Wendy documentary, she elaborated further, claiming her son “hasn’t been a good person” to her.
The pair were last seen together in February during her father’s 94th birthday celebration. Since then, no further updates on their relationship have been made public. Meanwhile, Williams continues challenging her guardianship, which she has likened to imprisonment.

Beyoncé's Former Dancer Ashley Everett Says Her 2016 Onstage Proposal Was ‘Beginning of the End’ of Relationship
Beyoncé's former dance captain Ashley Everett is getting candid about the “aftermath” of her viral onstage proposal during the singer’s Formation World tour.
Everett — who was captured on video getting proposed to by then-boyfriend and fellow dancer John Silver during Beyoncé'’s performance of “Single Ladies” — opened up on the Mic'd Up On a Tuesday podcast with Dexter Carr about what happened after the proposal.
“The proposal was the beginning of the end, baby,” Everett admitted before explaining, “That was a proposal done for him, not me.”
“You think it was a grand gesture for his ego more than anything?” host Dexter Carr asked.
Beyonce with her dancers, including Ashley Everett.
“Yeah and literally as soon as it happened he was like, ‘We went viral. Yes!’ ” she replied. “It wasn’t planned. We didn’t talk about it. I was looking at [another dancer], I was like, ‘Who allowed this? Who allowed this? Why didn’t you tell me? Why is he up here?’ I was livid. I was livid now looking back.”
“Also if you watch back, I never say yes. I go [nods head],” she added.
In the viral proposal video taken during the St. Louis, Mo. tour stop in 2016, the “CUFF It” singer, 43, could be seen halting the music before saying that she thought she needed to “bring” someone up on the stage. Beyoncé then gave the microphone to Silver, who went over to Everett and held her hand.
“So baby, I know that you don’t think that I express my love to you in front of everybody so I felt like what better time than now to do it in front of a thousand [fans]. So Ashley Everett, will you marry me,” he said as he got down on one knee.
Everett could be seen nodding her head, and the couple shared a hug. Silver then went over to hug Beyoncé and returned the microphone so she could finish singing “Single Ladies.”
Silver and Everett had been together for six years prior to the onstage engagement. However, three years later, the professional dancer found herself single again. In 2019, she opened up to Essence Magazine about how she really felt about the proposal.
'I'm pretty low key, so I don't need big gestures all the time,' she told the outlet. 'I'm happy with one little rose on Valentine's Day, not a house filled with flowers. The big grand gesture, I felt, wasn't necessarily for me.”
As time went on, she said that she found more and more excuses to not plan their wedding, adding that she eventually “had to look in the mirror and ask myself why.”
‘"Do I really want to be married or do I even want to marry him? Am I really happy? Do I need to work on me before I take this leap?’ ” she recalled questioning.
She added, “Then of course with work and travel comes distance, which means you have to work harder for communication... We could go a day or two without talking, and I just felt like we weren't on the same page anymore."
“I did start to think, ‘Am I letting people down? Beyoncé gave me such a huge platform for our engagement.’ But things happen and life happens,” she concluded.

Ryan Coogler‘s genre-bending Sinners continues to bare sharp teeth in its fourth weekend, thanks to golden word-of-mouth that few films enjoy. In its latest milestone, Sinners has crossed the $200 million mark at the domestic office after finishing Friday with a cume of $199.8 million. The supernatural vampire pic is another coup for Coolger, the bold and audacious filmmaker behind the Black Panther and Creed franchises. Sinners‘ actor Michael B. Jordan has starred in all five of his movies.
At Warner, co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, have come under scrutiny internally for putting too much trust in auteur filmmakers and original fare. Coogler’s R-rated film is one of several such projects, and has turned out to be an enormous feather in their cap. Rarely does a sleeper sensation come along like Sinners, a period-set story in the Jim Crow south of the early 1930s in which Jordan plays dual roles as twin brothers who buy a juke joint only to discover a menacing supernatural force.
When Sinners first opened, naysayers were quick to label the $80 million film a wash. They were wrong. Sinners continues to over-index among Black moviegoers, an underserved audience, as well as play to white and Latino moviegoers.
Carl Nassib details emotional talk with his dying uncle that inspired him to publicly come out as gay
In 2021, Carl Nassib decided to publicly come out as gay. In doing so, Nassib became the first openly gay active NFL player.
That decision took a lot of courage, and Nassib has admitted he battled nerves before finally sending his message out to the world.
But Nassib also knew how much his coming out would help others in the same situation. During an appearance on Ryan Clark's "The Pivot" podcast, Nassib opened up about a conversation he had with his dying uncle, and how that played a role in Nassib's decision to come out publicly.
While Nassib was playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he received a call from his mom informing him his uncle was on his deathbed due to cancer. Nassib briefly left the team to see his uncle — who was openly gay — in person.
Nassib — who was only out to his parents, close friends and siblings at the time — decided to come out to his uncle during that visit. His uncle's response played a major role in Nassib coming out publicly a few years later.
"I saw him on his deathbed and he was in a really bad shape and I came out to him. We're from a huge family — I have 44 first cousins — and he was the only gay guy, gay person, in the entire family.
"When I came out to him, he and his husband were there, and he was like, 'This is the biggest weight off my chest.' He was like, 'I'm not the only one.'"
Nassib said those words led him to realize there were probably so many other people out there who felt like his uncle. Nassib's uncle died in 2019.
Nassib didn't come out until 2021, though he considered making his announcement earlier. Nassib thought about coming out in 2020 — after he signed a guaranteed contract with the Raiders — but George Floyd's murder and the COVID-19 pandemic led to Nassib delaying that decision until the following year.
His announcement was met with plenty of support. The Las Vegas Raiders — Nassib's team at the time — sent out a tweet saying they were proud of Nassib. James Franklin, who coached Nassib at Penn State, and Saquon Barkley, who was one of Nassib's teammates at the school, also sent out supportive messages to the the defensive lineman.
Nassib played the 2021 season with the Raiders before going back to the Buccaneers in 2022. He retired from the NFL the following year. In seven seasons, Nassib registered 187 combined tackles and 25.5 sacks.
A part of Nassib's historic announcement will be preserved at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The museum will display the jersey Nassib wore against the Baltimore Ravens in 2021. It was the first game in which Nassib appeared after announcing he was gay.
That decision took a lot of courage, and Nassib has admitted he battled nerves before finally sending his message out to the world.
But Nassib also knew how much his coming out would help others in the same situation. During an appearance on Ryan Clark's "The Pivot" podcast, Nassib opened up about a conversation he had with his dying uncle, and how that played a role in Nassib's decision to come out publicly.
While Nassib was playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he received a call from his mom informing him his uncle was on his deathbed due to cancer. Nassib briefly left the team to see his uncle — who was openly gay — in person.
Nassib — who was only out to his parents, close friends and siblings at the time — decided to come out to his uncle during that visit. His uncle's response played a major role in Nassib coming out publicly a few years later.
"I saw him on his deathbed and he was in a really bad shape and I came out to him. We're from a huge family — I have 44 first cousins — and he was the only gay guy, gay person, in the entire family.
"When I came out to him, he and his husband were there, and he was like, 'This is the biggest weight off my chest.' He was like, 'I'm not the only one.'"
Nassib said those words led him to realize there were probably so many other people out there who felt like his uncle. Nassib's uncle died in 2019.
Nassib didn't come out until 2021, though he considered making his announcement earlier. Nassib thought about coming out in 2020 — after he signed a guaranteed contract with the Raiders — but George Floyd's murder and the COVID-19 pandemic led to Nassib delaying that decision until the following year.
His announcement was met with plenty of support. The Las Vegas Raiders — Nassib's team at the time — sent out a tweet saying they were proud of Nassib. James Franklin, who coached Nassib at Penn State, and Saquon Barkley, who was one of Nassib's teammates at the school, also sent out supportive messages to the the defensive lineman.
Nassib played the 2021 season with the Raiders before going back to the Buccaneers in 2022. He retired from the NFL the following year. In seven seasons, Nassib registered 187 combined tackles and 25.5 sacks.

Pauletta Washington Reacts to Husband Denzel Washington's Tonys Snub for 'Othello' Role
Pauletta Washington is sharing her thoughts on husband Denzel Washington‘s Tonys snub.
Earlier this month, the nominations for the 2025 Tony Awards were announced and fans were shocked to learn that Denzel, 70, didn’t receive a nomination for his role in Othello despite receiving good reviews.
In a new interview with People, Pauletta, 74, was asked to share her reaction to her husband’s snub.
Now see, that’s not something you want to ask me,” Pauletta said with a laugh. “I can’t say that I was surprised that they didn’t.”
“In my family we’ve been through this a lot of times. A lot of times,” Pauletta continued. “And I think I can speak honestly and truthfully and artistically that it was denied, you know, so you wonder why.”
She added, “But we don’t have to wonder why: It’s narrow-minded people that are in charge of making decisions and judgments.”

Draymond Green Blasts ‘Agenda’ That He’s ‘The Angry Black Man’ – ‘It’s Ridiculous’
*As one of the best players in the NBA, Draymond Green is known for being a valuable asset for the Golden State Warriors with big plays made when needed most.
Yet his talent on the court can’t cloud what he feels is an “agenda” to paint him in a negative light as “the angry black man.” Speaking with the media after Game 2 of the Warriors’ series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Green blasted the label that has overshadowed contributions he has made in the series and overall, when playing the sport he loves. In his eyes, he feels targeted by the league and officials.
“I’m sick of the agenda to make me look like the angry Black man. I’m not an angry Black man,” he said in a brief statement on May 8 before leaving the locker room after the Timberwolves tied the series against the Warriors with a 117-93 win. “I’m a very successful, educated Black man with a great family. And I’m great at basketball, I’m great at what I do. The agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry Black man is crazy. I’m sick of it. It’s ridiculous.”
Green’s comments on his image comes amid a crucial time. The forward is two technical fouls away from suspension in the playoffs following a dead-ball infraction in Game 2 of the Warriors’ series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to yahoo! Sports.
During the game, Green flailed his arms wildly after being fouled by Timberwolves forward Naz Reid. The play ended up being reviewed after Reid went down. A personal foul was given to Reid, while Green got the technical foul.
Assessing the play, lead official Tony Brothers deemed Green’s contact unnecessary as Green was trying to sell the contact to draw the foul. The call hit a raw nerve with the Green, who was not shy in letting official know how he felt. To prevent anything further from happening, Green’s injured teammate Stephen Curry came up the sideline to calm him down before Warriors head coach Steve Kerr pulled him out.
The move was the right one to make as Green would’ve been in danger of an ejection and one technical closer to suspension.
Brothers’ decision to give Green the technical foul mirrors what happened in Game 7 of the Warriors’ first-round series against the Houston Rockets. In that game, Brothers was the lead official, and Green drew a technical following contact with Rockets guard Fred VanVleet.
VanVleet reached in on Green, committing a foul, yahoo! Noted, adding that and in the exact same motion Green flailed his arms, hitting VanVleet in the face. He was given a technical foul after an official’s review.
Despite Green’s a reputation of pushing the line with officials and opposing players and losing his cool during Game 2, Kerr pointed out the positive, crediting his player for keeping his cool in the past two Warriors wins on the road.
“He’s going to have to be careful,” said Kerr, confident Green won’t go over the line to further mess his team up. “He’s going to have to stay composed and I’m confident he will because he knows the consequences.”
For his part, Green hardly said anything to the officials in the Warriors’ series-opening win in Minneapolis. Instead, he focused on anchoring their defense.
ASAP Rocky Flexes Custom Ring Featuring Gold Rihanna Statue
A$AP Rocky loves Rihanna so much that he got a custom jewelry piece that features her likeness.
Rocky recently took Vogue behind the scenes of his 2025 Met Gala look and gave the camera a close look at a special ring that, according to TMZ, has five carats of white diamonds and more than 110 grams of 18-karat yellow gold.
Much of the gold in the ring, designed by Jason Arasheben of Jason of Beverly Hills, is featured in its statue of Rihanna. It depicts her posing in a diamond-encrusted dress and looks just like her.
Rocky himself couldn’t help but gush when showing it off in the video, around the 11-minute mark.
“You see this sexy thing? My shorty got the little fatty on her too,” Rocky said. “You see that forehead? You know who it is.”
Rocky took the time to flex his ring in the video because he didn’t get to wear it at the Met Gala; instead, he chose to wear Bulgari rings.
Ahead of the Met Gala, Rihanna revealed that she’s pregnant with her and Rocky’s third child. The couple already has two sons, RZA and Riot. The singer was photographed coming to her hotel in a gray Miu Miu outfit, complete with a growing, partially covered, baby bump.
The couple's love for fashion is mutual. Earlier this month, Rocky revealed that he takes clothes from Rihanna’s closet—sometimes without her knowing about it.
“Man, pardon my language, I do what the fuck I want,” Rocky said in an episode of The Run-Through With Vogue podcast. “But in all fairness, I want to represent [and] be a catalyst for daring men. I don’t know who drew the line between femininity—or just being feminine—and masculinity ... I don’t know who drew that line, but I don’t see any barriers for me.”
“It's not fair that my girl could just go in my closet and just take anything from it and wear it,” he said of Rihanna. “That goes both ways. She has pieces she don't know that I actually stole, you get what I'm saying?”

Lizzo Admits Why She Doesn’t Have Any Friends: “When You Get Famous, It Gets Really Weird”
“I used to have so many friends, but when you get famous, it gets really weird,” Lizzo admitted. “Everyone makes it weird for famous people.” She went on to explain, “I’m still a normal person. You’re still you. Everything around you changes. It’s heartbreaking.”
Lizzo also shared some advice for those aspiring to fame, warning them to think twice before chasing it.
“Don’t be famous,” she advised, speaking directly to her audience. “I know you guys want to be, and I know you want to go online, go viral, get your money, and be rich.” She clarified, “Rich and famous are not the same thing. If you’re an artist, do your art, but don’t just be famous. You can’t leave. It never ends.”
Despite this revelation, Lizzo does appear to be close to singer SZA. In recent years, the pair has shared images from vacations and other outings together.
On a separate note, Lizzo also recently discussed her ongoing weight loss journey. During a TikTok Live, she issued a warning to those who obsess over calories, stating, “We rebel against counting calori
es because it is a gateway to eating disorders.” She has also frequently called out those who discuss her weight in a negative way.
Gabourey Sidibe Shares Emotional Tribute on First Mother’s Day Since Losing Her Mom, Singer Alice Tan Ridley
Actress Gabourey Sidibe is remembering her mother, singer Alice Tan Ridley, who passed away nearly two months ago.
On Sidibe’s first Mother’s Day without Ridley, the “Precious” star shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, reflecting on her grief and gratitude.
“It would’ve been nice to celebrate Mother’s Day with my mother as a mom myself,” Sidibe wrote. “It would’ve been even nicer if she had the opportunity to meet her grandchildren, but she was sick for a long time, and that’s just not how things worked out.”
Sidibe, who recently became a mother to twins Maya and Cooper, said she finds comfort in the stories and memories of her mom. “I am grateful for the years I did have her and all the funny stories about her I’ll someday be able to tell my kids,” she said.
In the post, she recalled one particularly humorous moment that captured her mother’s spirit. “After I got married, she came to visit and fell in love with my cats, but then said, ‘It’s time to stop f@ck!ng around with these cats and have some kids.’ Well, we got right on top of that.”
Though she admitted celebrating the day “feels wrong,” Sidibe found a way to honor her mother’s legacy. “My Mom was so fun and really funny…so with gratitude, today I will celebrate her through [my kids].”
Ridley died in New York City on March 25th, 2025. Before her death, she was a well-known vocalist who competed on the fifth season of “America’s Got Talent.” Before appearing on the show, Ridley excelled in the pilot episode of “30 Seconds to Fame,” where she won a $25,000 grand prize for her remarkable talent. She released her debut album, “Never Lost My Way,” at the age of 63 in September 2016.

Donald Trump Will Accept $400 Million Luxury Jet From Qatari Royal Family To Use As Air Force One,
Look up, and you will see the corruption in the air in the form of a $400 million luxury jumbo jet occupied by the orange menace, Donald Trump.
CNN reports that the Trump administration will accept a luxury jet from the Qatari royal family that will be retrofitted to be used as Air Force One during Felon 47’s disastrous second term.
ABC News first reported the gift, which came on the heels of Trump’s first big foreign trip, which included a stop in Doha, Qatar.
How is this possible? According to the news website, the administration, best known for its grifting, will get some help from the Qatari Ministry of Defense because it will be gifted to the Pentagon.
Per CNN: Given the massive value of a Boeing 747-8, the move is unprecedented and raises substantial ethical and legal questions. A Qatari official said the plane is technically being gifted from the Qatari Ministry of Defense to the Pentagon, describing it more as a government-to-government transaction instead of a personal one. The Defense Department will then retrofit the plane for the president’s use with security features and modifications.
Oh, and get this: The plane will be “donated” to Trump’s presidential library so he can continue to use it after he leaves office—that’s if he leaves, we should say.
A law enforcement source close to the matter told CNN that the Secret Service is viewing the plane’s gifting as a “security nightmare.”
“The (US Air Force) would have to tear it apart looking for surveillance equipment and inspect the integrity of the plane,” the source told CNN.
Trump also has the right people in certain positions who will not blink an eye at the gift and will help ensure it goes through without issues.
Per ABC News: Sources told ABC News that Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump’s top White House lawyer David Warrington concluded it would be “legally permissible” for the donation of the aircraft to be conditioned on transferring its ownership to Trump’s presidential library before the end of his term, according to sources familiar with their determination.
The sources said Bondi provided a legal memorandum addressed to the White House counsel’s office last week after Warrington asked her for advice on the legality of the Pentagon accepting such a donation.
Bondi’s legal analysis also says it does not run afoul of the Constitution’s prohibition on foreign gifts because the plane is not being given to an individual, but rather to the United States Air Force and, eventually, to the presidential library foundation, the sources said.
As expected, Democrats and ethics experts are sounding the alarm at the apparent violation of the emoluments clause.
“Nothing says ‘America First’ like Air Force One, brought to you by Qatar,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement. “It’s not just bribery, it’s premium foreign influence with extra legroom.”
Kathleen Clark, a government ethics expert at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, pointed out the obvious, saying the Trump administration is “structuring a transaction to try to avoid the obvious application of the law,” because Congress did not consent to the gift because it’s a clear violation of the clause.
“It is ridiculous. It’s a gift to Trump. The federal government is a pass-through,” said Clark.
Even some of Trump’s biggest fans like Laura Loomer are not feeling the their orange lord and savior taking a gift from the Qatari royal family.
