Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Scott Pruitt reportedly dined in Rome last year with a Catholic leader who was under investigation at the time for child sexual abuse, according to newly published records.

The New York Times on Thursday released a series of internal communications obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request that show Pruitt dined at a five-star restaurant with Cardinal George Pell in June 2017. Pell, like Pruitt, has expressed skepticism about man-made climate change.

Documents obtained by the Times show that EPA officials began planning for the dinner in May 2017. Pell had also offered to give Pruitt a tour of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, which apparently did not take place.


The Times reported that none of the EPA schedules from that day noted that Pell was at the dinner with Pruitt.

Prior to the trip, EPA officials learned that Pell was under investigation, according to The New York Times' Eric Lipton.

2. rump allowing his administrations

Corruption to run wild, and pruitt just one example of it. He's so corrupt rump won't fire him, because he likes corrupt people like himself, and tries to protect them while they spend our money as they please.

5. I think about that book a lot these days.

There are reminders of it in the news all the damned time. I'm still trying to figure out if the Trump administration are men or pigs. Maybe it doesn't matter.
