U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his family rode snowmobiles, boarded a cruise ship and sat down with Kid Rock as they crisscrossed the country to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Helping to pick up the tab? Boeing.

The company kicked in $1 million to help fund the five-part video series, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing sources familiar with the agreements.

Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Department of Transportation and The Great American Road Trip, a nonprofit, are promoting the video series with a trailer showing Duffy, his wife and their nine children taking in the sights. The nonprofit said it funded the series with the help of corporate sponsorships.

Corporate vendors are not legally allowed to buy me lunch or gift me anything of value, and I'm a low level state employee. My immediate family members cannot receive any benefits either.

Of course Trump shown that's all this administration is for accepting bribes.

If the next democratic candidate for president doesn’t run on aggressively prosecuting all of this, well, missed opportunity.

I’m sure Trump will blanket pardon anyone in his administration still kissing his ass, but still.
