In the six years he served as attorney general of Oklahoma, Scott Pruitt could be confused for an energy lobbyist, coordinating with representatives from the gas and oil industries to sue the Obama administration E.P.A. on 14 separate occasions. And his advocacy on behalf of fossil-fuel companies doesn’t appear to have ended since being sworn in as head of the federal agency he once swore to destroy. The New York Times got their hands on Pruitt’s schedule from between February and May of this year—a 320-page document that reveals an itinerary stacked with meetings, dinner dates, and trips to visit corporate executives, conservative interest groups, and lobbyists from the industries he was supposed to regulate. Few meetings, if any, were with other government agencies or public advocacy groups.

Most of these meetings took place in Washington. On April 26, for instance, Pruitt had a particularly carbon-friendly day, spending his morning with General Motors executives hoping to block an emissions regulation, and lunch and dinner at high-end D.C. restaurants with coal executives, including BLT Prime, the steakhouse inside the local Trump Hotel. But whenever he traveled, even when flying commercial, it was largely to speak at industry events or gatherings of conservative activists, in exclusive luxury locales:

Destinations included the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Fla., in late April, where Mr. Pruitt spoke to the National Mining Association; the Phoenician, a golf resort and spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he spoke to the National Association of Manufacturers; and the Broadmoor, a Colorado Springs hotel, for a gathering of conservative activists, sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, where the agenda included sessions like “Innovative Ways to Roll Back the Administrative State.”

While Pruitt crisscrossed the country to hold court with industry types, much of his travel focused on Oklahoma—coincidentally, the state where he happens to have lived for several decades. Much like former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who was forced to resign last week after it was revealed that he invoiced nearly a million dollars in charter-jet travel, Pruitt also took several government-funded flights to Oklahoma for brief, seemingly non-essential business meetings, before spending the weekend at home. His schedule increasingly became centered around meetings there, and at one point, he managed to squeeze in a three-day trip by scheduling visits to a power plant, a meeting with the governor, a speech in front of the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce, and a roundtable on rolling back a Clean Water Act regulation.

In a statement to the Times, the E.P.A. defended Pruitt’s meetings as befitting his agenda. “As E.P.A. has been the poster child for regulatory overreach, the agency is now meeting with those ignored by the Obama administration,” a spokesperson told the Times, accusing them of “sensationalizing [his schedule] for clicks.” But given the mounting criticism of his peers’ high-end travel habits—Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, for instance, is also now under investigation for his frivolous use of private air travel—Pruitt may need to defend the necessity of his frequent and expensive business travel, as well as his absurdly expensive security detail, and a $25,000 soundproof phone booth he installed in the E.P.A. offices.

The E.P.A. chief’s calendar shows almost no meetings with actual pro-environmental groups. When the Times asked whether Pruitt had spoken with any public advocacy groups, a spokeswoman said that representatives of the agency had met with the American Lung Association and the Audubon Society. “She would not specify who,” the paper noted.
