Scott Pruitt wasted nearly $124,000 on first and business class travel, according to an inspector general report

Washington Scott Pruitt, his aides and security agents wasted nearly $124,000 in federal funds on premium travel when he was Environmental Protection Agency administrator, according to an inspector general report released Thursday.

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. The IG says the spending was"excessive" because it was improperly approved"without sufficient justification" or by someone who did not have authority to approve it.

Better than a government official actually getting wasted on 124000, hint hint nudge nudge SpeakerPelosi

“I hire the best people’ tRump hires only criminals apparently.

Most of this was due cancelled trips....rest was 20K 'overspent' over 20+ or more trips...that had multiple people! I'm not a Scott Pruit fan....but it seems like the IG has an ax to grind?!

How dare he not fly coach 🙄

realDonaldTrump will these pesky Dems and 'Fake News' reporters at CNN ever stop defaming your genius advisors? I mean, you picked them, so how could this be true? People with really High IQ's don't make these type of mistakes so I refuse to believe this!!

I would expect him to sit up front. I dont care... However, Pelosi flying 73 members of her family on military aircraft does concern me...

I WAS NOT ANGRY AT BABYS AND CHECKING I WAS OVERWHELMED AT ALMOST 300 YEARS OF CHECKING HOW DOES THE ID SEARCH END? & I TRUST THE 6/1/2019 ANSWER

We need to recoup the monies.

Lock him up...lock him up....lock him up!

That's why we should not pay taxes. Seriously we been in debt since after 1786. Congress approved tax increases over 90% later on and guess what? Still in debt! If they can't be good with money then why hand them more? You really think you're gonna get free stuff?

If the flight doesn't land safely, not a waste.

jail time..
