Scott Pruitt, President Trump’s scandal-plagued first EPA administrator, spent nearly $124,000 on “excessive” travel costs, according to an internal audit released Thursday.

Scott Pruitt resigned from the EPA amid multiple investigations into excessive spending.

The EPA rejected the recommendation, saying in a statement that Pruitt’s travel costs were authorized, and attempts to claw back the money were “inappropriate.” The agency retroactively approved Pruitt’s travel spending in some cases. EPA officials justified Pruitt’s first-class travel at the time, saying it was necessary to prevent “lashing out from passengers” in coach class who were angry at the Trump administration’s rollback of environmental regulations.

Wheeler should “immediately reverse course on this irresponsible decision, and conduct much needed internal oversight, reform policies at the agency and take every step needed to recover these costs,” Sen. Tom Carper , top Democrat on the Environment and Public Works Committee, said in a statement.
