California’s attorney general announced Friday he is seeking documents that could show conflicts of interest and ethics violations by the man President Donald Trump appointed to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, the latest episode in the ongoing feud between Golden State officials and the Trump administration.
Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed a Freedom of Information Act request asking the agency for documents related to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. Becerra’s office said Pruitt has conflicts of interest in his new role overseeing federal environmental regulations because he sued the agency multiple times while he was attorney general of Oklahoma.

Wish they, progressive crybabies, would just leave everything and everyone alone.
The Cali AG needs an appointment with Harry Reid’s exercise machine.
What’s the conflict? He sued the EPA while AG of OK. So?
If I was a CA politician, I wouldn’t be asking for an investigation of anybody, because they might just start looking into your background. And as corrupt as the CA politicians are, they are sure to find something pretty quick.
Sounds like the guy has a plumbum deficiency...
Yes, of course!
If he received a passing grade in 8th grade science, that would be a “conflict of interest” in running the EPA, according the the CA AG.
The California AG and the governor defied federal law. I suspect California is going to secede from the union and institute Latino slavery.
What an idiot. Died this fool think you have to agree with the EPA in order to run it?
What did he sue them for? Corruption? Interfering with state’s rights? Overstepping their authority? Do we want the head of the EPA to not be concerned about these types of things?
Wanting to suspend the loony EPA regs that hinder growth and commerce is not an ethics violation.
Next he will go after Rick Perry for running an agency that he once wanted to eliminate.
FOIA? Stall it for 3 years, then send one so redacted that it is just line after line of sharpie marker like the previous admin did, then make them file for another FOIA. Rinse, repeat.
The Trump administration needs to go after this Beccera scumbag pain in the ass. He’s got to have a lot of skeletons. Time to drag them out of the closet. La Raza?
I guess California has NO desire to be part of the USA- unless they get their way 100% of the time-
Secede already!
Eff him!
The cali ag is a LIB lunatic. He should be imprisoned for his assault on logic and reason. I wonder if he is an illegal alien.
I would like to hereby invite any and all state attny generals to investigate any and all California public people. Have a ball.
There’s no conflict. Environmentalism is a criminal enterprise. All the enviro-whackos need to be properly tried, convicted, and executed for crimes against humanity.
That's an interesting standards. Applied even-handedly, it would bar anyone who has ever worked for an environmental organization that has sued the government.
