NEW TRAVEL COSTS REVEALED FOR EPA CHIEF

WASHINGTON » Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt spent more than $120,000 of public funds last summer for a trip to Italy that included a meeting of G-7 ministers and a private tour of the Vatican. The known cost of Pruitt’s previously reported trip grew this week after the agency disclosed a heavily censored document showing expenses for Pruitt’s security detail cost more than $30,500. That’s on top of nearly $90,000 for food, hotels, commercial airfare and a military jet used by Pruitt and nine EPA staffers.
