Minister of health Tom Price resigned

Minister of health Tom Price on Friday filed a petition for his resignation to the President. This decision was not unexpected in light of the increasing criticism of the price in connection with the use of private jets, leased to taxpayer money for personal interests. The total cost of damage according to preliminary estimates more than $ 400,000.

The President of the United States Donald trump accepted the resignation of price unconditionally. About it reports a press-service of the White house.

Acting health Minister will be a Deputy of the price — don Wright (from Virginia), but before midnight Price officially remains in the position of Minister.

Recall that after the publication of information about his trips on a private jet the Minister promised to compensate the budget of unduly spent funds.
