Cummings Questions Kellyanne Conway’s Private Flights and Literally Wants the Receipts from Price’s Payment

Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter on Wednesday to Kellyanne Conway requesting information on all private, non-commercial, or military flights she has taken since assuming her position in the White House, including all flights she took with then-Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price. “Despite the fact that you joined Secretary Price on several of these flights, you have not made any similar public statements indicating whether your own actions were appropriate, whether you will continue to take such flights at taxpayer expense in the future, or whether you plan to personally repay the taxpayers for the costs of your seats on these flights,” Cummings wrote in a letter to Conway. And in his letter to HHS and Treasury, Cummings wrote, “To verify that Secretary Price made his payment last Friday, please provide by October 6, 2017, a copy of any check or other form of payment former Secretary Price submitted to reimburse his expenses for these flights. If you do not have a copy of this payment, please indicate that you have not received it and provide any explanation you have received from former Secretary Price or his representatives for why his payment has not been made.” See both letters here.
