‘I’m going to look at it. I am not happy about it, and I let him know it,’ the president says of the HHS secretary using taxpayer money to fund private jet travel.
President Donald Trump and his top aides are fuming over Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price’s use of expensive private jets, with some advisers privately calling for Price’s ouster.
Trump rebuked Price Wednesday in sharp terms but declined to bat down speculation that the HHS chief could be fired for his lavish spending of taxpayer dollars.
“We’ll see,” the president told reporters when asked if Price would stay in his job.
“I was looking into it, and I will look into it. And I will tell you personally, I’m not happy about it,” Trump said. “I am not happy about it. I’m going to look at it. I am not happy about it, and I let him know it.”
