thing 1 tonight, scott pruitt still has a job as head of the epa despite an ever-growing slew of scandals like one of our recent favorites involving an old trump hotel mattress. as you may recall, scott pruitt asked a top aide in charge of his scheduling, a government employee paid with public money, with helping him secure a used trump branded mattress from the president's washington, d.c. hotel. the trump home luxury plush euro top, to be specific. pruitt's aide told a congressional committee about this in may. and when news about in came out this month and it blue up into mattressgate, she resigned. it wasn't enough for scott pruitt that the woman resigned after it came out. that wasn't enough. he wanted revenge. that's thing two. after the break. that, karen?
