Compliance into the Weeds: Leaving on a (Qatari) Jet Plane

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! With a nod to Peter, Paul, Mary, and John Denver, in this Compliance into the Weeds episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly deeply dive into the potential gift of a luxury Qatari jetliner to President Trump.

We discuss the launch of Trump’s meme coins and the Qatari government’s allegedly planned $400 million plane donation to Trump. The conversation examines the compliance and corruption risks these actions pose for U.S. and international businesses.
