\"\"<\/a>When the next Pruitt scandal breaks, he or his staff may try to provide an explanation, but as the record shows, you can count on Scott Pruitt and his EPA spokespeople being misleading in his initial response. <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the proof.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scandal<\/strong>:\u00a0Scott Pruitt\u2019s landlord had business before the EPA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pruitt\u2019s first\u00a0explanation<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

In a Fox News interview<\/a>, Pruitt said \u201cMr. Hart has no client that has business before this agency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truth<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Following this interview it came out<\/a> that Scott Pruitt\u2019s EPA signed off on a pipeline expansion from Enbridge, a company represented by Mr. Hart\u2019s firm Williams & Jensen. Recent reports also showed that Mr. Hart and executives from his client Smithfield Foods met with<\/a> Administrator Pruitt while Pruitt lived in the apartment Hart\u2019s wife owned.<\/p>\n

Scandal<\/strong>: Sweetheart deal on a lobbyist-owned condo. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Pruitt paid $50\/night, only for the nights he was in town to stay at the townhouse of a prominent lobbyist. <\/em><\/p>\n

Pruitt\u2019s first <\/strong>explanation<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you think of the townhouse, the rent last year. The owner of that is an Oklahoman. I\u2019ve known him for years. He\u2026 has no clients that are before this agency, nor does his wife have any clients that have appeared before this agency. I\u2019ve had ethics counsel here at the agency, the office of general counsel and ethics officials review the lease. They\u2019ve actually looked at the lease\u2026 If you look at the lease it\u2019s very clear it\u2019s market value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truth<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

This living arrangement seeps of corruption, including the help of a staffer<\/a> to find the housing. The clients firm Williams & Jensen does have matters before the EPA. While Pruitt stayed there, the EPA cleared a hurdle to a new client\u2019s pipeline being built<\/a>, As for the ethics review, EPA\u2019s top ethics official has since said he lacked key facts<\/a> about the arrangement when making his judgment. And as the Washingtonian<\/a> found, $50 a night at market rate doesn\u2019t quite get you a room as nice as he likely had.<\/p>\n

Scandal: Excessive raises to close staffers<\/strong><\/p>\n

The White House rejected Pruitt’s request for large raises for two staffers who came to the EPA from Oklahoma with the Administrator. After the requests were declined, EPA used an obscure provision of the Safe Drinking Water Act to provide the raises, totaling over $80,000 in raises to relatively junior staffers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pruitt\u2019s first explanation: <\/strong><\/p>\n

He just learned about the raises, months after the request happened<\/p>\n

Truth:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost impossible to think that Pruitt wouldn\u2019t know about exorbitant raises given to colleagues he works with closely. The Associated Press reported<\/a> that Pruitt approached the White House about the raises, and the Washington Post<\/a> has confirmed he approved them.<\/p>\n

Scandal: First class flights costing over $100,000 at taxpayers\u2019 expense<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pruitt often flew first class or charter and military planes at very high cost to taxpayers. <\/em><\/p>\n

Pruitt and EPA staff <\/strong>explanation<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEnvironmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt said security decisions made by others have dictated he fly first class or on military jets at taxpayer expense.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately\u2026 we\u2019ve had some incidents on travel dating back to when I first started serving in the March-April timeframe,\u201d Pruitt said during an interview at the New Hampshire Union Leader on Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truth:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Security experts disagree<\/a> that first class is any safer, and a bipartisan group<\/a> of Senators including Fischer and Kennedy commented they fly coach.<\/p>\n

Scandal: EPA cited a debunked study funded by the trucking industry in its decision to weaken rules on super-polluting trucks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A now-debunked study composed by a Professor at Tennessee Tech with ties to industry was cited in EPA\u2019s proposal to weaken rules on trucks that pollute at rates considerably higher than regular models.<\/em><\/p>\n

EPA\u2019s <\/strong>first<\/strong><\/a> explanation: <\/strong><\/p>\n

When it was revealed that the study was flawed and undertaken for political reasons, EPA said it \u201cdid not rely upon the study or even quote directly from it\u201d in supporting the loophole for super polluting trucks.<\/p>\n

Truth: <\/strong><\/p>\n

EPA\u2019s proposed rule in the Federal Register<\/a> said, \u201c<\/strong>In support, the petitioners included as an exhibit to their petition a letter from the President of the Tennessee Technological University (\u2018\u2018Tennessee Tech\u2019\u2019), which described a study recently conducted by Tennessee Tech.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tennessee Tech has withdrawn<\/a> the study after it discovered the study was sponsored by Fitzgerald, the nation\u2019s biggest glider manufacturer, and its research was conducted at a Fitzgerald facility. The EPA may still finalize the loophole for gliders in the coming months<\/p>\n

Scandal: $43k phone booth installed in Pruitt\u2019s office<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pruitt had a secure communications facility installed next to his office for $43,000, despite the fact that EPA already has a secure communications facility on another floor. The EPA Inspector General is investigating.<\/em><\/p>\n

EPA explanation: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you are referring to is a secured communication area in the administrator\u2019s office so secured calls can be received and made,\u201d EPA spokeswoman Liz Bowman said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cFederal agencies need to have one of these so that secured communications, not subject to hacking from the outside, can be held. It\u2019s called a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). This is something which a number, if not all, Cabinet offices have and EPA needs to have updated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truth: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The booth was charged<\/a> as a \u201cprivacy booth for the administrator,\u201d rather than for security. However, \u201caccording to former agency employees, the EPA has long maintained a SCIF on a separate floor from the administrator\u2019s office, where officials with proper clearances can go to share\u00a0information classified as secret.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scandal: EPA contracted a partisan firm to monitor staffers, said they were just clipping news<\/strong><\/p>\n

A partisan political firm, Definers Public Affairs with an EPA no-bid contract to do \u201cmedia monitoring\u201d investigated the personal political leanings of EPA employees suspected of not supporting the Trump administration. <\/em><\/p>\n

EPA\u2019s first <\/strong>explanation<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong><\/p>\n

An E.P.A. official vehemently defended the $120,000 contract to Definers, saying it filled a need in the media office for an improved clipping service.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefiners was awarded the contract to do our press clips at a rate that is $87,000 cheaper than our previous vendor, and they are providing no other services,\u201d a spokesman for the E.P.A., Jahan Wilcox, wrote in an email.<\/p>\n

Truth: <\/strong><\/p>\n

EPA decided to drop<\/a> the Definers contract after news broke that one of the company’s top lawyers had previously been digging for EPA employees who had criticized the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
