Scott Pruitt didn't sign off on those big EPA pay raises, inspector general finds

 

Environmental Protection Agency chief of staff Ryan Jackson signed off on most of the high-profile pay raises that have landed EPA chief Scott Pruitt in hot water in recent weeks, the EPA inspector general said Monday.

 

Although Pruitt did authorize tens of thousands of dollars in pay raises for select employees, the biggest pay hikes came at the behest of Jackson, according to the inspector general.

 

The inspector general's preliminary report was sent to Pruitt as an update on its ongoing investigation into whether the EPA broke the law in giving a group of lobbyists and others jobs at the agency with huge pay raises in the last year.

Ex-spy: Daughter of Dubai ruler missing since escape attempt

 

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Her friends say the last they saw of her was when commandos intercepted their sailboat in the Arabian Sea and dragged her away, kicking and screaming. A daughter of Dubai's ruler, she had been trying to escape her homeland, saying she was being abused.

 

Since then, the whereabouts of Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum are unknown, though she was likely brought back to the United Arab Emirates after the commando raid last month, said Herve Jaubert, a French ex-spy who told The Associated Press that he helped organize her escape attempt.
