The Environmental Protection Agency has blown a deadline to hand over documents to Congress pertaining to administrator Scott Pruitt’s travel expenses.
In late February, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, asked the agency to provide relevant documentation on Pruitt’s government travel after reports surfaced that Pruitt was flying in first class without having proper approval to do so.
Gowdy gave the EPA until March 6 to produce the records. Nearly a week later, documents have not been provided to Congress.
The EPA told The Daily Beast that agency staff “have been in contact with Chairman Gowdy and are accommodating his request as quickly as possible.” And Amanda Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for the committee, told The Daily Beast that the panel has “been in touch with the EPA regarding the status of our request.”
“We anticipate a productive response shortly,” Gonzalez added.
