Internal EPA documents provided to the Washington Free Beacon reveal Obama administration EPA administrators jet setting cost taxpayers roughly $1 million.
The EPA has spent $124,000 for Pruitt and his security detail to travel to the G-7 summit in Italy and a trip to Morocco.
Pruitt has come under scrutiny from the media for the travel costs, which include $84,000 for the G-7 summit in Italy last summer in airfare for Pruitt and security.
"The double-standard couldn't be more clear: Under Barack Obama's EPA the media chose not to report on expenditures to protect the EPA administrator for international travel or the costs of their trips," said Jahan Wilcox, EPA spokesman.
Pruitt's trip to Morocco in December 2017 to promote U.S. liquefied natural gas exports cost $40,000, bringing Pruitt's international travel and security costs to $124,000.
Pruitt has received an unprecedented amount of threats since becoming EPA administrator, which is costing taxpayers an extra $2 million per year, and prompted security officials to recommend Pruitt fly first class.
In all, the Obama EPA administrators spent $961,856 on international travel, or 7.75 times more than Pruitt.
