Mitchell on Trump Admin’s Use of Private Planes: ‘This Is a Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "I want to quickly talk about private planes. What is it about this administration and private planes, expensive travel? Now, according to Hallie Jackson, our colleague over at the White House, the HHS Inspector General is investigating Tom Price, the cabinet secretary, for taking at least 24 flights on private charter planes at taxpayers’ expense since May, one of them to Philadelphia. I still for the life of me cannot figure out taking a charter to Philadelphia from Washington, D.C. It’s about an hour and a half on the train. Steve Mnuchin had a request to try to take the plane on his honeymoon. Scott Pruitt flying home to Oklahoma most weekends at taxpayer expense. Betsy DeVos now footing the bill for her travels on private jet herself, according to the Education Department. This is a lifestyle of the rich and famous."
