The Department of Transportation is refusing to hand over private flight records for Secretary Pete Buttigieg, according to a conservative watchdog group suing for the files.“It’s sadly ironic that the FAA is wasting taxpayer dollars by stonewalling our lawsuit for records about Pete Buttigieg wasting taxpayer dollars,” Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland said.
The FAA has located 32 records to the group so far but has declined to share them until Oct. 31, 2023.“Despite repeated promises they would hand over records, and then missing those deadlines over and over, we now have proof that the FAA did not meaningfully work on our request until after we filed a lawsuit,” she added.The FAA has located 32 responsive records so far, but has declined to share them until Oct. 31.
In February, the Department of Transportation’s Office of the Inspector General launched an investigation into Buttigieg’s use of FAA private jets.
