WASHINGTON (AP) The lobbyist whose wife rented a condo to Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt at $50 a night sought EPA committee posts for a lobbying client, according to a newly released EPA memo.

Frank Pallone of New Jersey, the senior Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
