The security detail for EPA head Scott Pruitt broke through a glass door at the Capital Hill condo where he was staying last year because they thought he was in danger, it was revealed on Friday.

Pruitt’s security were under the impression that he was unconscious and unresponsive during the incident in March of 2017, according to ABC News, but the EPA chief was just sleeping.

After bursting into Pruitt’s bedroom, the rescue party found him waking from a nap.

The misguided rescue attempt came to light as it was reported that Pruitt had paid just $50 a night to crash in the same condo, which is co-owned by the wife of a lobbyist with clients regulated by Pruitt’s agency.

One of the groups receiving Slush Fund monies from Obama Adm. Is Mutual Housing Association of New York, a spinoff of the controversial community-organizing group ACORN.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is investigating up to $6 billion in legal settlement money that the Obama administration steered toward progressive causes and allies in left-wing advocacy groups.

Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch regularly arranged for major corporations to make large “donations” to left-leaning groups like UnidosUS — formerly the National Council of La Raza — and NeighborWorks America during settlement negotiations to end banking, environmental, civil-rights, and other federal lawsuits.

The list included UnidosUS, which advocates for illegal immigrants; the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, a left-leaning housing lobbyist group; Operation Hope, which pushes banks to lend to unqualified mortgage applicants in Los Angeles; and the Mutual Housing Association of New York, a spinoff of the controversial community-organizing group ACORN.

The groups getting the money were not victims in the cases or parties to the lawsuits, and Republicans say they had no proper claim to the cash.

That means that all punitive damages awarded in the cases should have gone directly into the US Treasury, say Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee who probed the scheme in 2015.

Instead, $3 billion of the multi-billion-dollar 2013 agreements with Citigroup and Bank of America to settle cases related to mortgage-backed securities went to community-organizing groups.

The $17 billion Bank of America deal gave the bank “extra credit” if it donated $100 million or more to activist groups approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Third-party donations have been included in federal settlements since the 1970s.

But the Obama administration ramped up the practice as an end-run around the Republican-controlled House, which slashed federal funding for politically connected “housing counseling” organizations in 2011.

Sessions ordered a stop to the strategy in June.

“Settlement funds should go first to the victims and then to the American people — not to . . . the political friends of whoever is in power,” Sessions said at the time.

The investigation will be the first tally of the cash that ended up in the hands of left-wing special interests — and signals a new willingness on Sessions’ part to scrutinize Obama administration activities.
