Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt’s concern with his safety came at a steep cost to taxpayers, as his swollen security detail blew through overtime budgets and at times diverted officers away from investigating environmental crimes to protect him.
Altogether, the agency spent millions of dollars for a 20-member full-time security detail that is three times the size of his predecessor’s part-time security contingent.

'Profligate' spending & ethical 'missteps' are revealed in Associated Press report released late yesterday. His security detail alone is three times the size of his predecessor.
