Scott Pruitt keeps multiple secret calendars. (But sure, nothing fishy going on there!)
Even Scott Pruitt’s scandals have scandals: Turns out U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt and his aides use secret calendars in order to keep potentially controversial meetings out of the public eye—and Pruitt’s name out of the press. A former top Pruitt employee said the EPA chief's staff even meets regularly to “scrub” from the official calendar anything that might ruffle feathers. At one point, as many as “three different schedules” were in the works, including one that was privy to only a select few. Analysis by CNN has since found more than two dozen discrepancies between EPA emails and schedules and the official public calendar—for instance, a certain late-night dinner with a coal exec inside the Trump International Hotel. (In some circles, we’d call that falsifying records, which is, ahem, illegal.)
