Two top Pruitt aides leave EPA amid ethics investigations
Two top aides to embattled Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt, including his security chief, abruptly departed Tuesday amid a series of federal ethics investigations of the agency.
Pruitt gave no immediate reasons why the two men — security chief Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta and Albert Kelly, a former Oklahoma banker who ran the EPA’s Superfund program — were leaving.
