President Donald Trump floated replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with Scott Pruitt as recently as this week, even as the scandal-ridden head of the Environmental Protection Agency has faced a growing list of negative headlines, according to people close to the President.
"He was 100% still trying to protect Pruitt because Pruitt is his fill-in for Sessions," one source familiar with Trump's thinking told CNN. Though the President has, at times, floated several people a day for multiple positions in his administration that are already occupied, the proposition reveals just how frustrated Trump remains with Sessions because of his decision to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia investigation more than a year ago, while signaling how confident he has remained in Pruitt despite a dizzying number of ethics issues

The problem is Sessions is not and the DOJ is the only department that matters at this point in the game. The EPA should be shuttered-scuttled anyways.
Oh goody more unnamed sources with useless conjecture
Pruitt is doing a great job at EPA! Hasnt finished with that wretched swamp. Let him continue to work
Where did you come up with that unsourced piece of junk?
Fake news told that siren story too. How do we know Pruitt wasn’t just stuck in traffic & making a joke?
Awfully ready to throw him under the bus aren’t you?
That story was fake. Go back to DU troll.
Who is the source for that? The usual MSM unnamed source?
Besides, I don’t think it is nuts. I would use a siren at least once if I had a gubmint car so equipped. Why have it and never use it? That seems nuts to me.
No scandals, only fake scandals
the only thing that could make this less credible is if Dan Rather reported it
I see a lot of complaints about Jeff Sessions, but I think he’s doing a great job getting illegals rounded up and cracking down with immigration laws. We haven’t seen that in a long time.
Don’t swallow every bit of libtard #FakeNews propaganda!
This was the first thought I had when I saw them going after Pruit.
Pruit has already been vetted, a great prosecutor and could just switch over.
I want a Scott Pruitt poster to hang in my room and kiss every night.
CNN: there is a REASON it is the lowest rated cable news network.
CNN: there is a REASON it is the lowest rated cable news network.
That would sure explain the continuing attacks on Pruitt. (Not that Pruitt has been the most clever in avoiding giving his attackers material.)
Bullshit
Trump is happy with the Sessions Huber angle
This sounds like a totally manufactured story...I would be curious who told CNN this.
One never bothers reading anything from totally unreliable, fake propaganda cnn.
With all the crap about Pruitt in the news these past weeks there is no way the Senate would confirm him for dog catcher much less Attorney General.
You might be thinking of Arnold Schwarzenegger?
