Senators seek probe into US transport chief road trip paid for by corporate donors

Reuters · back to the audit

A group of six Democratic senators on Monday sought a government probe into U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for taking a road trip for a family vacation filmed for a web video series that was paid for by corporate donors whose companies his department regulates.
Nate Sizemore, a spokesperson for Duffy, called the effort a "witch hunt" and said career ethics officials cleared every aspect of Duffy's participation in the Great American Road Trip.
The senators noted that the trip was funded through a non-profit that received significant contributions from companies overseen by USDOT, including Boeing, Toyota, United Airlines, Enterprise, Shell and Royal Caribbean Group.
