Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt (Credit: AP/Pablo Martinez Monsivais) In his first year as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt racked up over $105,000 in first-class flight expenses. Records from the EPA, turned over to the House Oversight Committee and obtained by Politico, showed that Pruitt is just the latest member of the Trump administration to come under the microscope about exorbitant flight fees on the taxpayers’ dime. Not included in the $105,000 total is the $58,000 Pruitt used “on charter flights and a military jet to carry him and his staff from an event with President Donald Trump in Cincinnati to catch a connecting flight to Europe out of New York,” Politico reported. Pruitt has been criticized in recent months after it was revealed that he didn’t fly coach, something the EPA has defended as a result of security risks and because of hecklers at airports who have made Pruitt feel “unsafe,” as Salon has previously reported.
