House panel: 15 Trump agencies yet to provide travel costs
Posted October 19, 2017 7:00 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - A House committee is demanding that 15 federal agencies fully account for senior officials' travel following reports of costly plane travel by Trump Cabinet secretaries.
In letters sent this week, the House oversight committee threatened to subpoena the Agriculture and Justice by the end of the month if they did not provide full travel details.
The panel said 13 other departments and agencies, including the White House, have only partly responded to its requests.
The House committee is investigating air travel following reports that Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price used pricey charters when cheaper commercial flights were available. Price resigned last month.
