Former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt in his office at EPA headquarters.
The report also highlights the extent to which Pruitt’s official travel revolved around trips to Tulsa, Okla., where he maintained a home while a member of President Trump’s Cabinet. It noted that out of the 40 trips investigators scrutinized, 16 included “travel to, or stops in, Oklahoma” — where Pruitt maintained a residence.
There is a precedent for a Trump administration Cabinet member reimbursing taxpayers for at least a portion of costs determined to be improper: Then-Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price announced the day before he resigned that he had written a personal check to the U.S. Treasury for $51,887.31 to offset charter and military flights he took in 2017.
In a 2017 memo obtained by The Washington Post under a public records request, the head of Pruitt’s security detail wrote that the controversial administrator was being recognized more often in public and that those guarding him had noticed “at times lashing out from passengers, which occurs while the Administrator is seated in coach with [his personal security detail] not easily accessible to him due to uncontrolled full flights.
In other instances, the report identified instances where the agency lacked a detailed accounting for expenses or justification for some of Pruitt’s trips, such as ones with stops in Tulsa.
Struggle is over
Just send the bill to his puppeteers, the Koch Brothers
Swamp
Put him 6 ft under
Put a lien on his bank account til all is repaid.
Guess he likes wasting our tax dollars on his Frivolous indulgences..the GOP modus operandi 🧐🍸💰💰💰💰
C'mon Trumpy's pay up!
Rut Roh! Oh well, couldn't happen to a better person.
And they are just talking about travel expenses, what about the crazy security crap he demanded in his office and the security details that escorted him to the travel wastes of time?
I'm sure he'll rush to repay the government forthwith. 🙄
GovHolcomb why did you bring him to your state?
IF he doesn't pay, lock him in that soundproof booth he spent our tax money on.
Trump gives his salary back to govt every three months. More than this small sum
I’m sure the cringeworthy Koch bros would be happy to pay it for him. 😒
He should be in jail.
Only the best people.
Turns out like the Republicans DO like to spend our taxes.
Looks like he brought the swamp instead of draining it.

I’m ashamed he’s from Oklahoma! What an embarrassment. I hope he has to pay back every bit of that... with interest!
Scott Pruitt grifter from way back. He banked $100,000 from ATT’s co Southwestern Bell. ⏯When honest Oklahoma politician worked to return billions SBC stole from customers ⇒ Pruitt threatened to LockHimUp if he returned the billions stolen to Oklahomans. ZeroTolerance
That mofo traveled in style. I wonder if he travels like that on his own dime?
Grifters rising to top positions in Gov't... very disappointing.
The findings highlight the fiscal impact of Pruitt's penchant for high-end travel and accommodations
robertloerzel Seems totally unfair. If a man cannot capitalize on his position in the administration, what is he to do, get a job?
Maybe Washington Post should be reporting on the scandalous Obama administration and their attempted coup against the president of the United States! Mountains of evidence to back that statement! SMH MAGA
This citizen watchdog agrees. Make that thief pay restitution!! 🇺🇸
Where is Scott Pruitt now anyway? Talk about fading into obscurity.
