What a damn phony Tom Price is.
The scandal over Health Secretary Tom Price's private charter flights, explained
Tom Price, President Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary, entered his office under a cloud of ethics questions, dogged by a string of eyebrow-raising investments into pharmaceutical companies during his time as a Congress member.
Now the Georgia Republican is enduring a new round of inquiries about his unprecedented use of private jets for official travel since he joined the Cabinet.
According to a series of reports from Politico, Price has traveled by private plane at least two dozen times as HHS secretary, racking up a bill of $300,000. This was a sharp departure from his predecessors under the Obama administration, Politico noted, who usually flew commercial. Ethics experts have questioned the propriety of such trips.
