DOT Inspector General Investigating Pete Buttigieg’s Use Of Government Jets; Buttigieg Responds

Monday’s announcement by the Department of Transportation’s Inspector General was that it is investigating Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s use of Federal Aviation Administration aircrafts to conduct official trips.

According to the Washington Post, one of 18 private FAA flights Buttigieg took was more expensive than flying commercial.

“Glad this will be reviewed independently so misleading narratives can be put to rest,” Buttigieg claimed. “Bottom line: I mostly fly on commercial flights, in economy class. And when I do use our agency’s aircraft, it’s usually a situation where doing so saves taxpayer money.”
