Chuck Schumer's Senate Address on Qatari Gift to Donald Trump and DOJ Nominee Hold

Published | Video Starts at 01:03

Considering past security disasters such as the US Embassy in Moscow, what are the security risks of this arrangement? And finally, how is this gift not naked corruption?

So, until the Attorney General explains her blatantly inept decision and we get complete and comprehensive to these and other questions, I will place a hold on all political nominees to the Department of Justice. (01:03–01:20)
