DEMS/EPA/SCOTT PRUITT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “The Environmental Protection Agency’s inspector general will investigate agency Administrator Scott Pruitt’s use of his official security detail on recent personal trips, the latest in a string of congressional, White House and internal probes into his spending on security and travel. The investigation comes at the request of Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, he announced on Thursday [4-19-18], a month after he asked Inspector General Arthur Elkins to look into Pruitt’s ‘unprecedented use’ of his taxpayer-funded security detail documented in six weeks of obtained schedules and travel logs…Destinations to which Pruitt was accompanied by his personal security detail included Disneyland, the Rose Bowl football tournament and college basketball games.”
