WILLIAM BRANGHAM:

The latest allegation against the EPA chief is that he asked an aide to help his wife secure a high-paying job. This comes on top of the dozen or more different federal investigations under way into Scott Pruitt.

Some are looking into his alleged lavish spending on travel and on personal security. He's being investigated for abuse of power for allegedly retaliating against staffers who questioned his behavior. And other investigators are examining how he rented a bedroom in a Washington condo owned by the wife of an energy industry lobbyist at very favorable terms.

Jennifer Dlouhy has been following all this for Bloomberg News, and she joins me now.
