Scoop: Schumer to seek vote on blocking Qatar's gift to Trump

• Schumer's bill could find sympathy from some Senate Republicans, who this month have raised concerns about the Qatari offer.
• Trump argued this weekend that the jet is a gift to the U.S. and not him personally, lashing out at news organizations who have suggested the gift is for the president.
• Congressional Democrats have called for investigations into the proposed arrangement.

Between the lines: Schumer plans to force a vote on the legislation during this year's government funding fight. The vote would likely come in the form of an amendment to GOP spending bills.

• Schumer called the Qatari plane a security risk, saying there are no modifications that would make the plane secure enough to serve as Air Force One.
• "It is now on the Senate to prioritize our national security, protect Americans, and ensure that a foreign-owned plane never gets the call sign 'Air Force One,'" Schumer said in a statement.

• The $400 million jet would be worth 100 times more than every other presidential gift from a foreign nation combined since 2001, according to an Axios analysis of State Department data.
