The nation will get a good view of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt this week as he goes before a U.S. Senate confirmation hearing to become the new administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
“He’s qualified for the job,” said Sen. Jim Inhofe in a recent interview with CBS News.
The Republican Senator will be one of those questioning Pruitt during Wednesday’s hearing by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
He also says Pruitt was right to file several lawsuits against the EPA.
“They were not following the law,” explained Inhofe who had sided with Pruitt at the time of the filing of the lawsuits.
Listen to the interview of Sen. Inhofe by CBS’s Elaine Quijano as they discussed other nominees before exploring Pruitt’s history.
