More ethical concerns about EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. An EPA official told The Atlantic “We were once the president’s favorite.. Now we’re the problem child.” Pruitt may be on thin ice with the White House. CNN’s Kaitlin Collins reports:
“Trump is calling Pruitt to tell him he’s fine while White House officials were telling reporters yesterday that Pruitt has no defenders left and is likely on his way out the door.”
