Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price said Thursday he’ll reimburse taxpayers for the charter flights he has taken on official business and that he’ll stop taking such flights while at HHS. “Today, I will write a personal check to the U.S. Treasury for the expenses of my travel on private charter planes,” he said in a statement. President Donald Trump has said he is unhappy with Price for taking the flights and indicated he could fire him over the matter. Price did not say how much his check would be for, but the flights have been estimated at $400,000.
