Duffy says he changed wife's flight to avoid Newark
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy explained Wednesday that he recently changed his wife’s flight to avoid the embattled Newark Liberty International Airport — but not because of safety issues.
“With all the delays at Newark, my wife had to do an event, and she was in the city of New York, and so I did. I moved her from Newark to LaGuardia, not for safety, but because I needed her flight to fly, she had to get there," Duffy told lawmakers during a House Transportation subcommittee hearing.
