Two top Environmental Protection Agency aides resigned this week as a fresh round of controversies stretches the scandals surrounding Scott Pruitt into a third consecutive month. Minutes after The Atlantic’s report went live, New York Times reporter Eric Lipton tweeted that Sarah Greenwalt, a senior EPA adviser, also stepped down. In the testimony, she said Pruitt instructed her to try to buy “an old mattress” from the Trump International Hotel in Washington. She said that she wasn’t sure why Pruitt wanted the mattress and that, to her knowledge, it wasn’t for EPA business. A top EPA official told The Atlantic that Hupp was “tired of being thrown under the bus by Pruitt.”The EPA did not respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.
