Tom Price's future at the White House is up in the air.

According to a report from Politico, the US Health and Human Services secretary's flights on private and military planes have racked up costs of over $1 million.

The Department of Health and Human Services is now conducting an investigation into Price's travel expenses. Under intense pressure, Price has offered to pay back $51,887, the cost of his seat on the flights.
