Trump Says He Still Has Confidence in EPA Chief Pruitt

by Reuters

   U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said that embattled Environmental
   Protection Agency Director Scott Pruitt still has his confidence.

   Pruitt has been criticized for a series of potential ethics lapses,
   including flying first class, excessive spending on security, and the
   rental of a room in a Washington condominium owned by the wife of an
   energy lobbyist.

   Asked during a meeting of automakers at the White House if he still has
   confidence in Pruitt, Trump responded: "Yes, I do."
