Pruitt Aide Fired for Refusing to Delete Schedule Info

EPA chief Scott Pruitt “is now facing questions about whether aides deleted sensitive information about his meetings from his public schedule and potentially violated the law in doing so,” the New York Times reports.

“Last summer one of his senior schedulers, Madeline G. Morris, was fired by Mr. Pruitt’s former deputy chief of staff, Kevin Chmielewski, who said he let her go because she was questioning the practice of retroactively deleting meetings from the calendar. Mr. Chmielewski has emerged as a harsh critic of Mr. Pruitt after a bitter falling out that led to his departure from the agency as well.”
