The Office of Government Ethics is not empowered to investigate or punish ethics lapses at the EPA, but its acting head still sent a letter outlining a series of concerns about Pruitt’s potential ethics lapses to the EPA. nytimes.com/2018/04/09/cli…
Many of these investigations are of matters that first emerged months ago, but many of Pruitt's worst scandals have only come to light over the past three weeks. There will almost certainly be EVEN MORE investigations of him to come.
