Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on Saturday defended his using of private planes for official travel, saying he welcomes an internal review of the flights that have recently come under scrutiny but acknowledged “the optics in some of this don’t look good.”He promised to stop flying private on official business until the review is done. “I don’t think there will be any charter trips until this review is complete," Price told host Leland Vittert on Fox News’ America's News Headquarters. “I instituted or initiated as well an internal departmental review of the procedures and processes that we go through for official travel to determine whether there are any changes or reforms that are necessary. According to the outlet, Price flew on charters to visit community health centers in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. On Saturday, Price said the private plane travel is not the norm for him.
