House Republicans supported Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt with their votes on Wednesday. Huffington Post reports that the House Appropriations Committee voted 26 to 21 to reject an amendment that would have required the EPA to publish the administrator’s total travel costs within 10 days of each trip. Republicans said the rule “appears to be a politically-motivated amendment directed at the EPA administrator.” The GOP-dominated committee also voted to destroy a second amendment that would have provided the EPA’s Office of Inspector General with the full $62 million budget it requested. The inspector general is currently overseeing 10 of the 16 federal investigations into Pruitt’s spending and management of the agency he’s led for 16 months.
