Scott Pruitt wasted nearly $124,000 on first and business class travel, EPA IG says

The 84-page report says the $123,942 figure is out of a total of $985,037 spent on 40 trips between March 1 and December 31, 2017.

It calls that amount "excessive" because it was improperly approved "without sufficient justification" or by someone who did not have authority to approve it.

Pruitt took the top EPA job in February 2017, and his early months in office were marked by frequent taxpayer-funded travel to his home state of Oklahoma. That and other ethical scandals would ultimately lead to his resignation in the summer of 2018.
