January 1, Trump Says He’s Not Using Campaign Funds for New Plane

Former President Donald Trump refuted a recent report, saying he is not using any campaign funds for a new plane.

Trump pointed to an article from The Hill that cited a fundraising email sent out by his Save America PAC.

“The story was incorrect,” Trump said. “I already have a plane, the same one I used on the 2016 campaign.”

Trump’s plane is currently being serviced in Louisiana and should be up and running in 90 days, he said.

“It is owned by me and financed by me, with no debt,” Trump said, noting he was required to fly in Air Force One during his term.

When asked about the fundraising email that mentioned his plane, Trump said, “I don’t know. I never saw the email [before it went out].”

Trump called the story “ridiculous. … Can you imagine me using campaign funds for a plane?”
