Facing bipartisan criticism over his travel expenses, former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Scott Pruitt in April canceled a pair of official trips for which he had already bought tickets, new records show.
Records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that Pruitt had spent $909.97 for flights for an April 9 to 11 trip to Mexico City and San Diego, which was later canceled.
He also spent $1,314.44 for flights to and from northwestern Arkansas between April 16 and 18, the records show, although though the agency was able to get $450.60 of that refunded.
Pruitt resigned in July under pressure after months of ethics and spending scandals. A main source of his problems was his use of taxpayer money, including frequent first-class travel and a trip to Italy last year that cost more than $100,000, when the costs of aides’ travel and hotels are included.
