EPA Chief Requested Extra Security Before He Was Sworn In, IG Reports

 

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt testified to Congress last month that his heightened security detail was prompted by threats โ€œunprecedented in terms of quantity and type,โ€ as confirmed in an inspector general report.

 

But he was contradicted on Monday by the EPAโ€™s watchdog.

 

In May 14 letters to two senators, EPA Inspector General Arthur Elkins Jr. said that โ€œEPAโ€™s Protective Service Detail began providing 24/7 coverage of the administrator the first day he arrived at the EPA.โ€ The decision was made by the agencyโ€™s Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics and Training โ€œafter being informed that he had requested it once he was confirmed as administrator. The OIG played no role in this decision.โ€

Off-duty D.C. police officer killed in crash with tractor-trailer in Maryland

 

An off-duty D.C. police officer was killed Monday morning after his car crossed a double-yellow line in the Clarksville area and collided with a tractor-trailer headed in the opposite direction, Howard County police said.

 

Authorities said that Barry Martin Eastman, 31, of Ellicott City died at the scene of the crash on Route 32, near Route 108 and Linden Church Road, about 8 a.m. Police said Eastman drove alone in his 2015 KIA Forte as he traveled northbound, when for unknown reasons, his car veered across the double line and hit the southbound 2014 Mack tractor-trailer.

 

The truck driver, 53-year-old Ira Goldberg of Frederick, was not injured, Howard County police said.
