Pruitt has been on my radar for months. Here's what I know…
Pruitt was OK AG before coming to EPA.
OK came up $30M short for their Dept. of Health and Human Services in fall 2017. FBI/DOJ investigating Fall 2017.
OK fired the OK Sect. Dept. Health and Human Services.
Preston Doerflinger was appointed by OK Governor as acting OK Sect. Dept. Health and Human Services.
Preston Doerflinger suddenly resigned in February because of "domestic violence." Remember - Hope Hicks' boyfriend, Rob Porter, in the White House also resigned about that time for "domestic violence."
Scott Pruitt in the hot seat because of the misdeeds/mess he left in OK?

"Tens of millions of dollars went missing from the state Department of Health’s budget over the last six years. This money wasn’t funneled away in a classic corruption scheme. Rather, the state Department of Health systemically overspent and misspent for six years to the tune of millions of dollars. This past fall, Oklahoma’s taxpayers received the bill for the years of reckless spending—an extra $40 million hole (a $30 million bailout, plus another $10 million in cuts) in the 2018 fiscal year."

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Two federal offices are now investigating the Oklahoma Health Department for their alleged misuse of federal funds.
Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter says that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI will partner with his office in an investigation into the department.
“I appreciate the collaboration of the FBI and HHS in insuring that we can conduct a thorough and exacting review of the situation at OSDH.” Hunter said. “We will get to the bottom of what happened there.”

"SCOTT PRUITT, THE embattled EPA chief whose lavish spending has come under intense scrutiny, had extravagant tastes well before he came to Washington. In 2014, while he was attorney general of Oklahoma, the expenses of his office were $27.7 million higher than those of his predecessor, Drew Edmondson, according to a state audit published in 2016. Almost $23 million of his total budget fell into a category called “administrative expenses.” While it’s unclear from the audit what costs are included under this heading, Pruitt’s administrative total is more than 93 times what Edmondson spent on “miscellaneous administrative” expenses in 2009, according to a separate audit."
