Senator Gillibrand questions Transportation Secretary Duffy at Senate hearing
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) criticized Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on Tuesday. The two outlets differ on whether the focus was Duffy's social media video bragging about withholding $73 million in highway funding from New York, or his recent cross-country road trip filmed for a reality TV series marking the nation's 250th anniversary.
