In fact, in a White House facing unprecedented turnover, leaks, and scandals, Pruitt’s activity at the EPA seems to be shielding him from being fired. Jeff Sessions with EPA Chief Scott Pruitt, who is doing a great job but is TOTALLY under siege? Do people really believe this stuff? So much of the media is dishonest and corrupt!- Donald J. Why? Because Pruitt gets things done.ĭo you believe that the Fake News Media is pushing hard on a story that I am going to replace A.G. Yet he still has the support of President Donald Trump. Now three House Republicans have called for Pruitt’s resignation, and environmental groups have launched a campaign to Boot Pruitt out of office. That one of the aides who got a pay bump was helping Pruitt find housing while on the clock, a violation of federal rules. That he replaced the head of his security team when the official hesitated to use lights and sirens in Pruitt’s motorcade to speed ahead of traffic when he was late to events, like dinner at Le Diplomate, a French restaurant in Washington, DC. There was news of what appear to be major improprieties: his too-good-to-be-true condo deal from a lobbyist friend, his circumvention of the White House to get two aides substantial pay raises, and his demotion of staff who questioned him.Īnd then there were the extremely telling accompanying details: that Pruitt fell behind on his suspiciously low rent. A series of leaks this week has triggered a tsunami of damning revelations about Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.
