Buttigieg shuts down GOP congressman over private planes

A Republican congressman tried to slam Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over his use of private jet – but to no avail. Rep Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican, had confronted Mr Buttigieg during a House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure hearing on Wednesday. “Since taking the role, you’ve travelled quite a bit – including private flights. How often do you take private flights?” he asked. “I assume by ‘private flights’ you mean the use of government aircraft assigned by agency,” Mr Buttigieg replied. The FAA aircraft made up three per cent of his flights, Mr Buttigieg said.
