The EPA chief demands loyalty. He doesnt always reciprocate, though.

On May 18, a top aide to Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt testified to a congressional committee that she had been tasked with procuring her boss a used mattress from the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Just days after news of that testimony broke, the aide, Pruitts now former director of scheduling Millan Hupp, submitted her resignation.
But even though Hupp was gone from the agency, Pruitt wasnt done with her.
According to three sources familiar with the conversations, Pruitt was livid over Hupps testimony, which he felt had been particularly humiliating. And he personally reached out to allies in the conservative movement, including some at the influential legal group the Federalist Society, to insist that she had lied about, or at least misunderstood, the request for a used Trump mattress. He also stressed that Hupp could not be trustedthe implication being that she should not be hired at their perspective institutions.
It was an aggressive move by a besieged, scandal-prone cabinet member against a young stafferone who worked on Pruitts attorney general campaign in Oklahoma, followed him to Washington, D.C., and by all accounts had been one of his most loyal aides at the EPA.
