Refresh Research on US Traveling Minister

US Secretary of State Steven Mnuchin (Finance) wanted to use an air force device this year for his honeymoon to Europe.

Mnuchin would have filed a written request for the use of a military aircraft. That taxpayer had cost about $ 25,000 per hour. The office of the minister drew back the application later.

A ministry spokesman said Mnuchin asked for such a device because he wanted to communicate safely. Eventually, there would have been other possibilities.

The inspector-general also investigated the ministerial travel behavior, which traveled to Kentucky with a government device last month. It is being investigated whether he did that in particular to look into his eclipse with his wife's eclipse. Mnuchin denies that with emphasis.
