Four Cabinet secretaries under scrutiny for their misuse of taxpayer dollars and questionable travel arrangements were reprimanded by the White House after news stories and watchdog investigations raised ethical concerns about the behavior, according to a report.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke all attended private meetings with officials from the White House counsel’s office and the Cabinet liaison last month.
The meetings were held after the media reported the secretaries' spending habits and infighting within at least one agency, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and came at the request of White House chief of staff John Kelly, according to CNN.
