Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt defended his living arrangement in Washington during the presidential transition, noting that career ethics officials at the EPA found no problems with his choice of where to sleep.
Media reports, Pruitt told The Daily Signal during an interview Tuesday, are incomplete and don't reflect "The truth."
As Pruitt on Monday announced a rollback of Obama administration emission rules for vehicles in model years 2022 to 2025, multiple media reports focused on the EPA chief's renting of a bedroom on Capitol Hill.
"We had a memo and a statement from career ethics officials here that have actually reviewed the lease, that actually reviewed comps-comparables of similar units," Pruitt, the former attorney general of Oklahoma, told The Daily Signal.
Pruitt also pushed back against reports that he rented space from an energy lobbyist.
Trump reportedly spoke Monday to Pruitt, according to media reports Tuesday.
Pruitt declined to comment on media speculation regarding his future at the EPA..
