Elise to Conduct Oversight on FBI Director Wray’s Use of Taxpayer-funded FBI Jet for Vacation
This week the New York Post broke a story that FBI Director Christopher Wray has used the taxpayer-funded FBI Gulfstream jet for his personal vacation. Elise joined House Republicans in demanding answers about this apparent abuse of taxpayer funds. The lawmakers wrote:
“In light of a recent report by the New York Post that you left a Senate hearing early to fly on an FBI aircraft for a personal vacation, we have questions about whether you are properly reimbursing federal taxpayers for your personal travel aboard government aircraft. According to the Post, on August 4, 2022, you abruptly departed a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing to engage in personal travel to your vacation home in Saranac Lake, New York. Despite requests from Ranking Member Grassley, you refused to remain at the hearing for an additional 21 minutes for remaining members to finish asking their questions and conduct oversight of the FBI…You reportedly departed on the FBI’s Gulfstream 550 jet, an agency aircraft initially intended for counterterrorism
use, to make the one hour and 12-minute journey to Saranac Lake. Further, it has been reported that you made a similar personal trip on a government aircraft on June 2 and June 5, 2022. Although certain federal officials are permitted to use government aircraft for personal or political use, these expenses must be reimbursed.”
