On Tuesday, The Daily Beast reported new details about the arrangement that former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., used to travel on a private jet — and obscure the cost of it to taxpayers, even as she claimed she was saving the government money.

"When former Sen. Kelly Loeffler was asked on the 2020 campaign trail about the recently purchased private jet she was flying around Georgia, the former CEO and multimillionaire senator defended the expense as saving taxpayer dollars," reported Roger Sollenberger. "But previously unreported corporate filings reveal something that Loeffler's campaign disclosures did not: She was paying her husband's company to operate the jet. And, according to experts, those campaign filings might not have been correctly reported, raising questions of whether she purposefully concealed the arrangement from the public."
