The Transportation Department’s internal watchdog announced on Monday that it will be auditing Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s use of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) jets.
Transportation’s Office of the Inspector General said it will be auditing Buttigieg “to determine whether the Office of the Secretary complied with Federal regulations, policies, and procedures regarding executive travel on DOT aircraft.”
The audit comes in response to Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) request for one in December, after a Fox News Digital report found that Buttigieg had taken at least 18 flights on the FAA jets.
The watchdog will review all Buttigieg’s official flights starting from Jan. 31, 2017, and said it will start the audit “shortly.”
“Senator Marco Rubio requested that we determine whether the Secretary’s use of Government aircraft for domestic and international travel complied with all applicable Federal regulations and DOT policies and procedures,” the announcement reads.
