A top official in the Biden administration is being criticized for taking multiple taxpayer-funded trips on private government jets.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was found to have taken at least 18 flights using taxpayer-funded private jets since taking office, according to a Fox News Digital exclusive.
Buttigieg has been an advocate of increased government intervention to curb carbon emissions while in charge of the Department of Transportation (DOT).He has been well known for promoting action on climate change and has repeatedly warned of the dangers posed by man-made global warming.
Flying Taxpayer-Friendly Skies
The Biden official has been traveling across the country and internationally, using the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) private jet fleet, according to flight tracking data reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Buttigieg is being accused of hypocritically using the same aircraft that his predecessor, Elaine Chao, was criticized for flying under the Trump administration.
