Texas Gov. Greg Abbott flew to Israel on Vegas billionaire’s plane
The airplane Gov. Greg Abbott boarded for his flight to Israel belongs to Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire who runs the Las Vegas Sands and has spent heavily on Republican candidates nationally.
Abbott’s office confirmed that the governor flew on Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands 737 after it was initially reported Monday by the Jewish Insider.
Abbott is visiting Israel and Switzerland this week during his third international economic development trip as governor. Monday, he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and vowed to ensure tax dollars from Texas aren’t invested in Iran.
Adelson has invested generously in GOP candidates, spending at least some $93 million on primarily GOP-related causes during the 2012 presidential election, according to the Washington Post.
