EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt will appear before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Jan. 31, 2018, making his first return to the panel nearly a year after his confirmation, the panel announced today.
"It is important that EPA Administrator Pruitt testifies before the committee," Chairman John Barrasso said in a statement. "It will give senators the chance to hear about the important work being done at the agency."
Committee Democrats have already expressed outrage Pruitt hasn't returned since his confirmation in February so waiting more than two additional months likely won't mollify that the anger.
"Mr. Pruitt's appearance before our committee, which oversees the agency he leads, is long overdue," Ranking member Tom Carper said in a statement. "While I think it is unacceptable that members of this committee will have to wait over a year to hear directly from Administrator Pruitt, I am glad that a date has finally been set, and I look forward to his testimony on January 31st."
WHAT'S NEXT: Pruitt will testify on Jan. 31.
