Mnuchin Asked to Use Military Jet for Honeymoon Stops in Europe
Treasury’s inspector general has opened inquiry into request by secretary
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin requested the use of a military aircraft to fly him and his wife to several European countries for their honeymoon following their June wedding, but he later withdrew the request, a Treasury spokesman said Wednesday.
.. The Treasury said Mr. Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs banker and Hollywood financier, made the request for a military jet during his extended travel because he is a member of the National Security Council, is directly involved in national security issues and needed secure communications while he traveled.
