Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt allegedly instructed one of his aides to assist his wife in obtaining a job with a six-figure salary, according to a new report.

Samantha Dravis, who formerly was an associate administrator in the Office of Policy at the EPA, told staffers on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week that Pruitt instructed her to contact the Republican Attorneys General Association regarding a job for his wife.

Dravis said that Pruitt wanted his wife to secure a job with a salary of at least $200,000, the Washington Post reports. Although she did not contact the Republican Attorneys General Association, which had previously been led by Pruitt, Dravis assisted Marlyn Pruitt secure a job at the Judicial Crisis Network.

The group claims Marlyn Pruitt worked as an independent contractor and was not paid more than six-figures. She stopped working for the group earlier in 2018.

Pruitt has been the subject of controversy in recent months, as he has come under fire for his travel on first-class flights, the use of his EPA-funded security detail, his dwelling at a Capitol Hill condo co-owned by the wife of an energy lobbyist for a rate of $50 a night, among other things.

Although Trump has offered steadfast support of Pruitt amid the scandals, Republicans lawmakers, including Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., have voiced irritation at Pruitt's behavior.
