Pruitt’s top spokesperson latest to leave embattled EPA
WASHINGTON — Scott Pruitt’s top spokesperson said Thursday she was leaving the Environmental Protection Agency, the latest high-profile departure as the embattled EPA administrator fights ethics allegations.
Liz Bowman, EPA’s associate administrator for public affairs, confirmed by phone she was leaving, but refused to discuss what motivated her departure.
In an emailed statement, Bowman said she was grateful to serve under President Donald Trump and Pruitt.
“Being a member of the EPA team has allowed me to further my skills, learn from my mistakes, and make lifelong friendships,” said Bowman, who left the American Chemistry Council trade group to work for Pruitt.
