Edward Scott Pruitt is an American attorney and former Republican politician who served as the 14th Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from February 2017 to July 2018, when he resigned while under at least 14 federal investigations into his conduct. As Oklahoma attorney general he had personally sued the EPA 14 times before being put in charge of it, and as Administrator he rolled back dozens of clean-air, clean-water, and climate regulations while installing a $43,000 soundproof phone booth in his office and accepting a below-market rental of a Capitol Hill condominium from a lobbyist's wife.
