Remember the other day when I characterized Wray’s sudden departure from Senate hearings as flipping them off? Apparently some other folks also think he should have pushed his vacay plans\u00a0 back a tad:<\/p>\n

Representatives Elise Stefanik, Chair of the House Republican Conference, James Comer, House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member, and Mike Turner, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Ranking Member co-signed the letter.\u201cWe write to conduct oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s (FBI) use of Government aircraft and compliance with the applicable Federal regulations and requirements,\u201d reads the letter, first obtained<\/a> by Fox News. \u201cWe have questions about whether you are properly reimbursing federal taxpayers for your personal travel aboard government aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was not the director\u2019s first round-trip getaway using the FBI plane. On June 2, the plane traveled to Saranac Lake on June 2 and returned to Washington, D.C. on June 5. Wray is required to reimburse the cost of a coach class airline fare when the plane is used for personal trips, but it costs several thousand dollars per hour to operate the Gulfstream, the paper noted.<\/p>\n

Government plane travel is authorized for \u201cofficial purposes\u201d and can only be used for informal travel when no commercial air is available or would cost more<\/strong>, according to Office\u00a0of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance, Fox News noted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
