- Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has taken at least 18 flights on taxpayer-funded private jets since taking office, despite calls to cut emissions and after a Trump Cabinet official was forced to resign over his private jet use.
- Buttigieg has been using two Cessna 560XL private jets that are part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s fleet.
- It’s unclear how much the private flights have cost taxpayers, but the FAA previously charged federal agencies roughly $5,000 per hour to use its planes, Fox said.
