EPA/SCOTT PRUITT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday [5-11-18] said that embattled Environmental Protection Agency Director Scott Pruitt still has his confidence. Pruitt has been criticized for a series of potential ethics lapses, including flying first class, excessive spending on security, and the rental of a room in a Washington condominium owned by the wife of an energy lobbyist. Asked during a meeting of automakers at the White House if he still has confidence in Pruitt, Trump responded: ‘Yes, I do.'”
