Washington, July 4 (RHC)-- In the U.S., the climate change-denying EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is facing yet another scandal. CNN is reporting Pruitt kept a secret calendar and schedule in an attempt to hide his meetings with many industry executives.
According to the report, in one case, a meeting with the CEO of coal producer Alliance Resource Partners was listed on Pruitt’s secret calendar but not his public calendar.
This comes as one of Pruitt’s former top aides has revealed Pruitt once asked her to help find his wife a job as a fundraiser at the Republican Attorneys General Association.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Scott Pruitt fled a restaurant after he was confronted during lunch by a schoolteacher holding her child. The woman, Kristin Mink, posted a video of their interaction online.
Kristin Mink: “This is my son. He loves animals. He loves clean air. He loves clean water. Meanwhile, you’re slashing strong fuel standards for cars and trucks for the benefit of big corporations. You’ve been paying about 50 bucks a night to stay in a D.C. condo that’s connected to an energy lobbying firm, while approving their dirty sands pipeline. We deserve to have somebody at the EPA who actually does protect our environment, somebody who believes in climate change and takes it seriously for the benefit of all of us, including our children. So, I would urge you to resign before your scandals push you out.”
Scott Pruitt did not respond, but he left the restaurant soon after.
