Velázquez Calls on Trump EPA’s Scott Pruitt to Resign

Washington, DC –Today, Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) released the following statement calling on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt to resign.

"Since taking control of the EPA, Scott Pruitt has not only made a mockery of the agency's core mission, his actions also epitomize the culture of corruption plaguing the Trump Administration. He has billed taxpayers for lavish expenses and prioritized the needs of his rich confidants over the American people, all while pursuing a radical anti-environment agenda. He has lost all credibility and should step down immediately."
