Upheaval at Pruitt's EPA as departures mount

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) appears to be in a state of massive upheaval following the departure of several aides and new allegations against the agency’s embattled administrator, Scott Pruitt.

Four officials at the agency have stepped down in the past week, an exodus that has deprived Pruitt of some of his closest aides.

Meanwhile, several new controversies have exploded around Pruitt regarding his travel and his ties to lobbyists.
