NEWS: Scott Pruitt approved raises for two key aides even as he said otherwise. AND he disregarded White House instructions -- even from John Kelly -- on TV appearances. He was late on rent for a $50 a night rental. And his job is in jeopardy.

This post has been updated.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt fought for his job Thursday, facing a new barrage of allegations about issues ranging from his past housing arrangement and first-class travel to the reassignment of senior staff who criticized how he was spending taxpayer funds.

Even as President Trump repeatedly expressed his support for Pruitt in public, top White House aides began to escalate their disapproval, suggesting the administrator has mischaracterized his role in boosting the salaries of two employees. On Thursday evening, two EPA officials confirmed that Pruitt endorsed the idea last month of giving substantial raises to senior counsel Sarah Greenwalt and scheduling and advance director Millan Hupp — although he did not carry out the pay raise himself.

And Pruitt’s decision to ignore White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly’s warnings to be more cautious about giving public interviews only complicated his standing with many of Trump’s key aides.

1. These are the kind people who t-rump likes.

Anyone who is corrupt as he is has a seat at this corrupt table. Alas, t-rump cronies as usual are backstabbers and loyal to a certain extent.

t-rump's whole administration is corrupt. The whole Republican party is corrupt. The USA's government is corrupt. Bankruptcy to ensue because everything t-rump touches turns to shit.

.................In a sign of Pruitt’s split-screen existence, according to administration officials briefed on the matter, Trump on Friday plans to sign the directive expediting air- quality permits. Yet the White House canceled an announcement event where the two were to appear together.

Several congressional Republicans, as well as some governors, conservative groups and pundits, rallied to Pruitt’s side. Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas both publicly backed him Thursday, as did governors Matt Bevin (Ky.), Phil Bryant (Miss.) and Pete Ricketts (Neb.). Bevin tweeted that the administrator should “ignore the nattering nabobs of negativism,” invoking a phrase that Vice President Spiro T. Agnew used in 1969 while blasting the media.

3. Go figure!

Look who Pruitt works for? The MASTER LIAR!

4. Who is surprised by this?

Pruitt is a liar

5. This will cost John Kelly his job

Pruitt might be gone eventually, too, but Kelly's getting nudged over the cliff for being the last guy in the administration who tells Lord Littlehands no. Kelly's previous warnings to Pruitt to not do what he did could be the last prod needed to send Kelly over the cliff.

Welcome to the netherworld of the dignity wraiths, Mr. Kelly. You sold yourself out to work in the White House and discovered too late that it is no longer a prestige posting.
