The Trump Administration has received lots of criticism for its spending. Most recent is the use of air transport by Cabinet Officials.
This includes the wives of some of those Officials. They have used both Military and private charters to travel around.
The situation with spending saw Tom Price resigning. He was criticized for his use of Federal funds. At the time he was the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Steven Mnuchin was also investigated for his use of over $800,000. It was reported that he took 7 military plane trips since in office. He is the Treasury Secretary at present.
Investigations
It is reported that about five investigations are ongoing. The total amount is believed to be millions of dollars.
The spending is a result of Cabinet Officials using private transport. Most have moved away from using commercial flights.
Government accountability groups along with Democrats have been very critical about the matter.
Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin are just two of a few who used the Military jets.
Those under investigations include Energy Secretary Rick Perry. Another person is Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
There was also extra spending for those who travel with Officials. This includes persons as guests, spouses and security details.
