Asked on Sept. 27 about Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price's taxpayer-funded travel on private planes, President Trump said he was "not happy about it." (The Washington Post)President Trump on Wednesday said he is “not happy” about revelations that Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price took numerous flights on government-funded private jets for work and personal trips. Democrats have also called Price’s use of private jets — some with plush leather chairs, kitchens and other amenities — hypocritical. Investigators will seek records of Price’s travel and review the justifications that he and his staff gave for the trips, the spokeswoman for HHS Inspector General Daniel R. Levinson said. Days later, Mnuchin flew on a government jet from New York to Washington after a news conference with Trump at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
