White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted a photo to X on Wednesday from the new Air Force One, a plane gifted to President Donald Trump from the government of Qatar, despite anti-bribery rules intended to stop that kind of transaction.

They appear to be completely fake books with generic titles on the outside.
