Trump Admin. Tries to Keep Secret Renovation Costs for Qatari Luxury Jet Gifted to Trump
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The New York Times reveals the Trump administration is trying to keep
secret how much it will cost to renovate the $400 million jumbo luxury
jet recently gifted to the Trump administration from the royal family of
Qatar. The Times noted that $934 million has been mysteriously
transferred from a project to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal. While
federal funds will pay for the renovations, the plane will be
transferred to Trump and his presidential library after he leaves
office.
