Two Congressional Committees Probe Pruitt’s First-Class Travel
Government Executive | February 21, 2018
Two congressional committees have launched probes into the travel of the Environmental Protection Agency chief, who has faced backlash for his use of first-class travel on the government’s dime. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Democrats on the the House Energy and Commerce Committee, sent letters to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on Tuesday asking for detailed information on his travel schedule and justification for booking premium flights.
