What we know about claims Biden admin started negotiations for Boeing 747 from Qatar

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In mid-May 2025, claims (archived) circulated that the administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden, who left office in January 2025, started negotiations with Qatar for the Boeing 747 plane the country offered to give to the U.S. Department of Defense in May 2025. News of the gift broke shortly before U.S. President Donald Trump embarked on a visit to Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.

However, it remained unclear whether Mullin's claim was true. Mullin didn't mention the Biden administration's involvement in discussions around the gifted plane in an interview the day before he appeared on "The Lead" or in a video (archived) posted on his X profile a few days after, which discussed the plane. A spokesperson from Mullin's office told Fox News Mullin learned of the alleged Biden administration involvement during a "recent conversation" with Qatari officials.

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani did not mention any Biden administration involvement with discussions during a recent interview with Fox News.

We reached out to the Department of Defense and the Qatari Government Communications Center to ask if they could confirm Mullin's claim. The Department of Defense referred us to the White House, which we contacted to ask the same question. We will update this story if we receive a response.

Lame attempt at CYA.

1. I think Tapper is just making stuff up now. Because Maga will believe it as gospel.

Why not just ask Biden about it? My opinion of Joe Biden, having known him, is that he is an honest, ethical and good man. And a patriotic American. Nothing Jake Tapper or anybody says is gonna convince me otherwise.
