Justice department. This as were learning about Additional Supreme Court nominees that the president met with today. Were out front at the white house. What can you tell us about the appeal from pruitt directly to the president . Kate this is just another interesting chapter and twist in this ever running scott pruitt story. Were told earlier that scott pruitt the head of the epa met with the president in the oval office. He had a solution for him about one of the president s biggest problems, that, of course, is the attorney general Jeff Sessions. We know the president has been displeased at Jeff Sessions for a long time for refusing himself. Scott pruitt offered to be the next attorney general. And its called he essentially would have filled the position for a couple hundred days under the vacancies act. It takes a confirmed member of the cabinet who is a lawyer to replace a fired attorney general. Of course the president has not fired the attorney general. This didnt come to pass. S
