"EPA: Pruitt Back On The Hill This Week"

"U.S. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt will be back on Capitol Hill this week.

The EPA chief will testify in front of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee tomorrow for what will be his first appearance before the panel since his confirmation hearing last January.

Democrats have long pushed for the oversight hearing, and it follows Pruitt's testimony last month before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment.

Pruitt has keep his distance from Congress; this week's appearance will be only his fourth hearing since his confirmation. That includes appearances before House and Senate appropriations subcommittees this past June."
