President Trump on Wednesday said he was “not happy” about Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price’s repeated use of expensive taxpayer-funded charter flights, and did not rule out firing the Cabinet member. Asked if he had confidence in Price, Trump repeated his displeasure. When Trump was asked if he planned to fire Price, he replied: “We’ll see.”Politico has documented more than two dozen charter flights taken by Price, costing taxpayers more than $400,000. Trump’s remarks were the latest example of the White House distancing itself from Price’s actions. The House Oversight Committee has drafted letters asking Price and other agencies for information about any charter flights, Politico reported.
