29 September 2017Donald Trump loses another piece of his administration. American Health Minister Tom Price has resigned.
Price "offered his resignation today and the president accepted them," the White House spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said in a statement, pointing out that Don Wright will temporarily take over as Health Minister.
The minister fell for the scandal of private flights. The Political newspaper revealed that the White House had approved the use of military aircraft for Price's travels last spring in various countries overseas, in Africa and Europe, for a cost of over half a million dollars to be paid by the tax payer . Flights that would bring the total cost of his travels, according to Politico, to over one million dollars.
Yesterday, Price had apologized for offering a check for about $ 52,000. Price's wife accompanied him on military flights, while other members of the delegation went to Europe on normal commercial flights.
