Washington (CNN) Tom Price, the embattled health and human services secretary, resigned Friday in the midst of a scandal over his use of private planes , a storm that enraged President Donald Trump and undercut his promise to bring accountability to Washington. According to statistics provided by a senior administration official, the Trump White House has authorized fewer trips on military planes for senior officials than the Obama administration did during the first eight months in office. Price said Thursday that he would reimburse the government for a portion of the costly charter flights he used to travel to various engagements at taxpayer expense.
