A Republican source told The Hill on Friday that Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has begun probing Pruitt's past $50 a night housing arrangement on Capitol Hill.

The Oversight and Government Reform Committee “has been looking into Pruitt’s condo deal,” a Gowdy aide said. “The EPA produced documents to the committee this week, including both the March 30 and April 4 [ethics] memos.”

Gowdy has been under increasing pressure to step up his investigation into Pruitt, who’s faced a barrage of negative headlines in recent weeks related to his living arrangements, spending on private jets, office furniture and security detail.

Pruitt said the lease followed ethics requirements and that his spending is not excessive.
