Steven Mnuchin, the US treasury secretary, requested the use of a government jet for his European honeymoon, it was reported on Wednesday.Because Mnuchin thinks that he's entitled to have the government give him a military bizjet for his personal travel, because reasons.
The treasury department’s inspector general is investigating Mnuchin’s request for a US air force plane – with a reported operating cost of around $25,000 per hour – to transport him and his wife, Louise Linton, on their honeymoon to Scotland, France and Italy this summer, according to ABC News.
You might recall that Mnuchin mooched another trip by conveniently arranging some conference so he and Lady Louise could also see the eclipse last month. Lady Louise is one of the Beautiful Grifters who attended a non-ABA certified law school in California that has one of the more abysmal bar pass rates in the country. Before she married Mooching Mnuchin, she was best known for her memoir, which other have dubbed "Barbie Goes to Africa".
Just adorable.
Mnuchin is a level one creep, and shares a bit of unfortunate history with Fergus that no doubt helped cement the bond between them: He made a lot of money off of the fallout from the economic crash (they called him the foreclosure king) and Fergus back in 2007 said he was excited for the housing market crash because of the opportunities it created for a wealthy man like him to pick up a lot of valuable real estate on the cheap.
