Trump's high-flying EPA chief accused of burning through $90,000 on military jets and first-class airline tickets in less than a month

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt burned through $90,000, spent on first-class airline tickets and on military jets, during the first few weeks of June last year. The Washington Post, with the aid of the Environmental Integrity Project, charted the cost to taxpayers Pruitt's travel cost in the days after yanking the United States from the Paris climate agreement. More broadly, the newspaper found that Pruitt's travel was different than his predecessors at the EPA, as it was 'secretive, costly and frequent.' For example, on Thursday, June 1, President Trump made his Rose Garden announcement that he would withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, and by Monday, Pruitt was in the air.  While just travelling between Washington, D.C. and New York City, Pruitt spent $1,641.31 on his first-class seat, which cost more than six times that of his aides, who sat in coach, the Post found. The administrator buzzed up to Manhattan to appear on TV twice and then stayed at an upscale hotel near Times Square, which cost taxpayers at least $433, according to the documents obtained by the Post.
