Pruitt’s security detail blew through overtime budgets & diverted officers away from investigating crimes. The EPA spent millions for a 20-member full-time detail that is more than three times the size of his predecessor’s part-time security contingent. https://t.co/UpR2MmrMBh

Pruitt’s security team currently consists of 19 agents and includes a fleet of at least 19 vehicles. The size of Pruitt’s security is unprecedented. No previous EPA chief has ever received a 24/7 security detail, the agency’s inspector general has said. https://t.co/DhjvdQc5sA
