Office Of Government Ethics Outlines Concerns About EPA's Scott Pruitt

The Office of Government Ethics is raising concerns about Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.

The acting head of the office outlined those concerns in a letter addressed to the EPA's top ethics official.

The letter calls on the EPA to properly investigate Pruitt's potential ethics violations and take "appropriate action" if a violation is found.

As Newsy previously reported, Pruitt faced increased scrutiny over his ethical practices after news broke that he leased a Washington, D.C., apartment for $50 a night from the family of an energy lobbyist.

The White House is reportedly looking into the issue to see if Pruitt broke any federal ethics rules.
