Abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega leading us off. Reporter tonight, a Top Senate Republican is demanding answers, asking why President Trumps cabinet secretaries are flying on private jets and government planes on the taxpayers dime. It comes as Health Secretary tom price is now apologizing for taking more than two dozen work trips on luxury jets. After being on the defensive for days we heard the criticism, we heard the concerns and take that very seriously. Reporter tonight, in his statement, price admits, i was not sensitive enough to my concern for the taxpayer, and the taxpayers wont pay a dime for my seat on those planes. But price spent more than 400,000 in taxpayer money on those flights, and it turns out hes only reimbursing the government for the cost of his own seat 51,887. 31. Price is a multimillionaire and his job is now on the line. Would you fire him, sir . Well see. Reporter its not just price. Three members of the president s cabinet under fire for expensive travel.

In all, at least 610,000 in trips by President Trumps cabinet, now under scrutiny. And today,he tte w to be clear, also, the white house does not have a role on the front end of approving private charter flights at the agencies, and thats something that were certainly looking into. And cecilia vega joining us tonight from our studio back in new york. And cecilia, one Top Republican is now delivering a stern warning to President Trump . Reporter exactly, david. The powerful chairman, chuck grassley, wrote a letter to the president , saying im urging you to emphasize to cabinet secretaries the necessity of using reasonable and Cost Effective modes of travel.

Tonight, the president has now sent a threestar army general to command the relief operation. Amid images of thousands of Cargo Containers sitting there, full of supplies, but not delivered. More than a week now after the hurricane. Nearly 3. 5 million american citizens live on the island. Millions without power and water. And tonight, our team right here, flying to vieques. What we have not seen until tonight. Abcs eva tonight. Reporter tonight, we fly to vieques, the island off the east coast of puerto rico, for the first time, after being told it was completely wiped out. We flew in with two residents who are conducting rescue missions. They just got a man with a heart condition muchneeded help. The island, hanging by a thread. No power or running water, the hospital damaged so badly theyve set up a triage tent outside of it because they cant treat patients inside. Just waiting. Were still waiting. Reporter a doctor telling me femas only brought them water so far. This is whats left of someones home. You can see the windows completely blown out. The concern now . Looters. Someone writing keep out on their home. Across the u. S. Territory, the race to get the most basic of needs to the people more urgent than ever, but images like these, thousands of commercial shipping containers sitting in port, are raising questions about how quickly muchneeded supplies can be distributed. Late today, the white house, defein we had provided as many commodities as were necessary to the island. Challenge became, th landbased distribution. That remains the challenge. That remains the priority today. Reporter and tonight, a key republican, senator marco rubio, who visited the island this week, writing an urgent letter to the president.

And is the president still planning to travel there next tuesday . Reporter well, david, fema sames those containers are commercial shipping containers for Grocery Stores and big box stores, not femas. The white house says the plan is still for the president to visit on tuesday, unless they hear that a visit would be counter productive. Then, the plan could change. David . Eva pilgrim and our team on the ground in puerto rico again tonight. We turn now to President Trumps new tax plan, promising a middle class how much will middle class americans see . And how much will wealthy americans see . Bc as whites hhiouse correspondent jonathan karl. Reporter the white house today claimed President Trumps tax plan could save the average American Family up to 1,000 a year. If we allow a family to keep another 1,000 disease of their next, what does that mean . They can renovate their kitchen, they can buy a new car, they can take a family vacation. Reporter but the details are still sketchy, and the president s top economic adviser today couldnt guarantee that every middle class family would benefit. I guarantee you ill guarantee c find someone in this country, maybe one person who their taxes may not go down. Reporter on gma, cohn said the plan wont save the wealthiest americans anything at all. The wealthy are not getting a tax cut under our plan. Reporter but that doesnt appear to be true. For one, the plan eliminates the estate tax. Something that is only paid on estates valued at more than 5. 5 million for individuals, 1 million for couples. The president says its about helping farmers and Small Business owners. The farmers, in particular, are affected. They have wonderful farms, but they cant pay the tax, so they have to sell the farm. Reporter but according to the tax policy center, a grand total of about 5,500 estates will be big enough to owe tax this year, and of those, only 80 are small farms or closelyheld business. One family that would certainly benefit . The trumps, even though the president insists his plan wont cut his own taxes. Im doing the right thing and its not good for me. Believe me. Reporter but today, cohn reporter democrats respect buying. They say, point blank, were not going to do a tax plan thats going to benefit the wealthy. Again, when we see more, youll know more of the facts. Jon karl with us live from the white house tonight. And jon, we heard the president s top economic adviser saying today that the average American Family would save up to 1,000. But this plan also includes a pretty huge tax break for corporations. Reporter well, the white house believes that cutting the taxes on corporations will be a big boost to the economy. As it stands now, david, the United States has one of the highest Corporate Tax rates in the entire world. Jon karl at the white house tonight. Jon, thank you.

And now, the big packers game tonight, and what the team is now asking fans in the stadium to do this evening. Heres abcs linsey davis. Reporter tonight, green bay fans expressing outrage.

Reporter this man used a blow torch emblazoned with a trump sticker. This, after the team asked their fans to join them, by locking arms in the stands at tonights game during the national anthem. Aaron rodgers and the packers linked arms as most teams did last sunday, protesting social injustice. This is about unity and love and growing together as a society. Reporter this morning, President Trump poured fuel on a fire many say he started, with new comments about team owners. They say, we are in a situation where we have to do something. I think theyre afraid of their players. Reporter backlash on social media was swift, somelit. Al cng if he thinks the nfl is some sort of plantation, he is sadly mistaken. Football is about the players. Tonight, a tennessee businessman is pulling advertising from nfl games in 30 markets. David . Linsey davis again tonight. Thank you.

Reporter also on the field, congressman and doctor brad wenstrup. The tourniquet he applied, many will tell you, saved my life, so, brad where, are you at . Right down front. Right down front. Reporter and for the colleagues who were there when he needed them most both republican and democrat reached out in ways that i cant express the gratitude in how much it means to me. Reporter as he walked off the floor, the public waiting [ cheers and applause ] whats it like to be back on the floor .
