Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, is resigning from his position after months of scandals involving questionable spending practices and other ethical lapses, President Trump said on July 5. #Trump accepted the resignation, effective the next day, and noted that Pruitt’s former deputy, Andrew Wheeler, will become the acting #EPA administrator. Pruitt’s seventeen-month tenure has been marred by several high-profile scandals: reports of his mismanagement of the agency and misuse of taxpayer funds have surfaced with startling regularity in recent months, and spiraled into multiple investigations. Some of the allegations against Pruitt involved extravagant spending habits (like the installation of a $43,000 “privacy booth” which the Office of Government Accountability deemed a violation of federal spending laws), allegations that he gave favored aides salary increases even after the White House refused to approve them (while sidelining staffers who raised questions about his actions) and renting a room in a Washington, D.C., condominium from an energy lobbyist’s wife for $50 a night, well below market rates. Just hours before Trump announced Pruitt’s resignation, it was reported that Pruitt had used clandestine calendars to conceal controversial meetings with executives from various industries. Even as the allegations against Pruitt piled up, Trump publicly backed him. Still, pro-environment lawmakers and outside groups won’t find much to like in Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist who’s likely to continue Pruitt’s work in minimizing environmental rules.
