October 5, 2017 – Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spent $811,797.81 to make seven trips using military aircraft.
While the Office of the Inspector General said this did not break any laws explicitly, Mnuchin failed to provide justification for his spending. Earlier in the year, he had placed a formal request for a military plane to escort he and his new wife on their honeymoon.

@DemocracyMattersALot Had almost forgotten about Mnuchin. His handling of
PPP loans during Covid was highly suspicious. At one point he admitted that the program was never meant to be transparent. Most loans were forgiven. The program, which spent $800 BILLION
may be one of the biggest boondoggles in US history.
While his request was denied, he has had other lavish requests granted, including one flight to Miami which cost taxpayers $40,000.
Typically, government employees are encouraged to book commercial travel and file for reimbursement.
Had he followed protocol, that same flight to Miami would have cost taxpayers about $700.
