Mike Pence: 20% of Taxpayer Funding for Trump Transition Will Go Back to US Treasury
Vice President-elect Mike Pence told reporters on Thursday that twenty percent of taxpayer funding for the Trump transition will go back to the U.S. Treasury.
He said he, as well as the president-elect, were pleased to report that the transition wrapped up “on schedule and under budget.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Pence added:
“We will actually return some 20 percent of taxpayer funding back to the U.S. Treasury, and that is exactly in keeping with the president-elect’s expectations going forward.”
“He’s a businessman that knows how to sharpen his pencil, and I’m very pleased to report today that we were able to do that and restore those dollars to the Treasury.”
