U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt told lawmakers who are angry about allegations of ethics and spending missteps during his tenure he had "nothing to hide" and added the accusations are meant to derail President Donald Trump's agenda.

"Let me be very clear: I have nothing to hide as it relates to how I've run the agency for the past 16 months," Pruitt told a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Pruitt added, "Those who attack the EPA and attack me are doing so because they want to attack and derail the president's agenda and undermine this administration's priorities. I'm simply not going to let that happen."

Legislators from both the Republican and Democratic parties lashed out at Pruitt. Democrat Frank Pallone told Pruitt, "You should resign and you are undeserving of public trust."

Pruitt went before two House of Representatives subcommittees for hearings about the agency's budget, and lawmakers sought answers about his spending on first-class air travel, his security detail and a lease of a room in Washington.

美國環保署署長斯科特·普魯特說，他“沒有什么好隱瞞的”。議員們對有關普魯特任職期間操守和開支不當的指稱感到憤怒。普魯特說，針對他的指控是試圖打亂川普總統的施政議程。

普魯特對眾議院能源與商務小組委員會說：“讓我把話說得非常明白：在與我過去16個月管理環保署相關的問題上，我沒有什么好隱瞞的。”

他還說：“那些攻擊環保署和攻擊我的人這么做是因為他們想攻擊和打亂總統的施政議程，并破壞本屆行政當局的工作重點。我絕不會讓它發生。”

來自共和與民主兩黨的議員都抨擊了普魯特。民主黨人弗蘭克·帕龍對普魯特說：“您應當辭職，您不配公眾信任。”

普魯特在兩個眾議院小組委員會有關環保署預算問題的聽證會上作證。議員們試圖讓他回答有關他本人職業操守的問題，包括他坐飛機頭等艙的開銷、他的警衛團隊以及他在華盛頓租用一個房間的合約。
