Trump says Pruitt's work at EPA overrides ethics concerns
President Donald Trump said Friday that his unhappiness with Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt over ethical misconduct allegations is being overridden by the "fantastic job" he is doing at the agency.
"I'm looking at Scott," Trump told reporters in a question-and-answer session on the White House driveway. "I'm not happy about certain things," he said, repeating the same phrase three times.
But at the same time, Trump praised Pruitt's performance at the EPA, where the administrator has initiated repeated rollbacks of Obama-era regulations. That, Trump said, "is very overriding."
Asked if he thought Pruitt was using his position for private gain, Trump said, "I hope not."

In other words so long as he does your bidding he can break the law with impunity.
