The Biden administration is stonewalling the release of records detailing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's highly scrutinized private government jet travel, a conservative watchdog group said.
In June, Americans for Public Trust sued the Transportation Department's Federal Aviation Administration to obtain information on the secretary's flights, which Republicans have raised concerns over due to them being taxpayer-backed and seemingly frequent. However, the agency has continued to delay handing over documents and skirted key deadlines, according to the watchdog.
Americans for Public Trust filed records requests in November 2022 and January 2023 aiming to uncover flight logs, passenger manifests, and names of any members of Congress or White House officials who flew on the jets. The FAA has purportedly located 32 records responsive to the watchdog's request, though it doesn't plan to turn over documents until roughly Oct. 31, Americans for Public Trust said.
"After waiting for the better part of a year, we’ve now been told the FAA needs nearly three more months to review and produce just 32 pages documenting Pete Buttigieg’s private jet travel," Sutherland said."This raises serious concerns about the political meddling this administration is willing to engage in to hide the truth from the public."
