Embattled Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt believes members of the administration are actively trying to get rid of him, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell CNN. The mounting acrimony spurred Pruitt's to reject offers from the White House to help him prepare for his expected grilling on Capitol Hill Thursday.
Pruitt and his staff have blamed the White House, in part, for several of the leaks of damaging information about him. In recent days, they rejected offers from the White House press shop to prepare for his hearings because they don't think the staff can be trusted not to leak information about the prep session.
Pruitt was incredibly frustrated, one source said, after Bloomberg reported that White House officials were advising Republicans to temper their support of Pruitt.
This reveals the disconnect between the embattled EPA chief and the rest of the administration. Pruitt is under the impression that the only person who fully supports him is President Donald Trump as he comes under fire for multiple ethics scandals and faces a harsh grilling on Capitol Hill.
The EPA administrator continues to weather a growing number of news reports about ethically questionable actions, including such issues as the size and cost of his 24-hour security detail, and a meeting he held with a lobbyist while renting a $50-a-night Capitol Hill room from the lobbyist's wife.

See this is from CNN, not going to read it!
Please Freepers, only post from legit news sites. LOL
(that would eliminate most of them)!
Nope...Fake News. “Sources say” means it’s fake! 100%
I think Carly Fiorina would make a great EPA chief, if they succeed in getting rid of Pruitt
I suggest he sound proof his office.
two sources with knowledge of the situation tell CNN
Who the 2 obamas
I won’t even entertain that. This guy competes with the consumer agency head Mitch (forget the last name) as the most effective conservatives in the administration. We should be talking about denying the rats his scalp at all costs
Scott Pruitt is EXACTLY who we need heading the EPA right now. Don’t surrender to the leftists in Big Media.
He should have just shut down the EPA last year and he would not have had to deal with this. Remember that most employees at EPA are actively undermining him - he only had a certain amount of time before they rose up.
BIGGEST FAKE NEWS EVER.
FAKE NEWS — Scott Pruitt is doing a MAGNIFICENT job of running the idiots at the EPA. And the White House knows it.
Pruitt doesn't need the White House to undermine him. He's doing a great job of that all on his own.
