EPA watchdog: Agency should recoup $124,000 in ‘excessive’ Pruitt travel costs

The OIG did not identify who exactly should be responsible for paying back the $123,942, and multiple agency officials are involved in approving travel costs. Potentially, Pruitt, who departed EPA last July, could himself be on the hook for the difference between his own first class seats and a coach ticket.
