Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm earlier this week chartered a military jet to attend a diplomatic summit in Ukraine as the Pentagon struggled to evacuate Americans and allies from Afghanistan with limited time and operational resources, sources told the Washington Free Beacon.
Granholm's flight took place amid the United States' frantic effort to airlift tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan ahead of the Taliban's Aug. 31 deadline, and as the Department of Defense was forced to call in civilian airlines to bolster its strained evacuation fleet.
The secretary's use of a military jet — and particularly the flight's timing — may raise questions for the Biden White House, which is responsible for approving such flights. Trump administration officials faced allegations of wasteful spending for their use of expensive military charters for trips that did not have national security urgency.
Tom Price, who served as Health and Human Services secretary under former president Donald Trump, was forced to resign in 2017 amid revelations that he took numerous overseas military flights and other private air travel, running up a $500,000 travel tab. Trump's former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt resigned in 2018 amid multiple controversies, including questions over his use of military flights that cost the government over $58,000. Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was also scrutinized for taking military flights for unnecessary purposes.

She is one of those that I immediately see always as a complete retard. She was always a failure but failure gets one places in politics.
I can’t believe her arrogance wow. Disgraceful. These people are “let them eat cake” on steroids.
