Scott Pruitt’s lobbyist landlords changed locks, told him they would get another tenant: Report

The lobbyist couple who rented a room under market rate to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt eventually changed their locks and told Pruitt he must move out because another person would be renting the room, according to a new report.

Last month, reports emerged that Pruitt rented a Capitol Hill condo co-owned by the wife of an energy lobbyist for a rate of $50 a night. Although the original living arrangement was only intended to last six weeks, Pruitt requested that the couple, Vicki and Steve Hart, extend his lease, Politico reports.
