On Thursday morning, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt appeared before the House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Environment for the first of two hearings on Capitol Hill.
It was Pruitt’s first appearance before Congress since a cascade of scandals and ethics questions broke, from Pruitt’s $50-a-night condo deal with the wife of an energy lobbyist to reports that Pruitt reassigned staff critical of his spending habits.
But Republican lawmakers were largely disinterested in pressing Pruitt for answers on those scandals, preferring instead to praise the administrator for his deregulatory actions over the last year.
“I was hoping that we could stay on policy as much as we could today, but I see some just can’t resist the limelight,” Rep. McKinley (R-WV) said during the hearing, describing Pruitt’s scandals as “a classic display of innuendo and McCarthyism.”
