8:03Now PlayingScott Pruitt is a longtime opponent of the EPA. Now he’ll be running it. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Richard Eskow, and Michael Tracey, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The Senate confirmed Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency Friday, installing one of the agency's fiercest critics as the nation's leading environmental regulator just hours after an Oklahoma judge ordered the release of his email conversations with oil, gas and coal groups.
On the eve of his confirmation, the state judge ordered Pruitt's office release the potentially thousands of emails relating to the energy companies he will soon be regulating — but not until Tuesday, days after his confirmation vote.
Pruitt is among the group of President Donald Trump's most controversial nominees, including Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. And like those others tapped by Trump, Pruitt's nomination is likely to narrowly pass in the Senate — with the help of a pair of Democrats.”*
