What Was Pruitt Doing In Morocco?
April 19, 2018 at 7:18 am EDT
By Taegan Goddard
ABC News: The 47-hour journey in Morocco was already drawing congressional scrutiny and criticism from outside groups because of the lack of transparency over why Pruitt was in the country and what he was doing while he was there.
Conservative congressional estimates put the cost of the trip at more than $40,000, and because of travel snags, Pruitt and his aides spent two days in Paris at high-end hotels. Pruitt did not publicly announce he was going ahead of time, did not bring reporters along, and when he finally released copies of his itinerary in response to Freedom of Information requests from ABC News and other news organizations, the bulk of the schedule was blacked out.

He was pimping natural gas for his landlord even though that's not his job. As a side benefit, he lavished a Paris vacation on the aide who was being paid and never showed up for work. Gee . . . wonder what he got in return from the aide.
