Scott Pruitt Resigns

Mr. President, it has been a respect to serve you in the Cabinet as Administrator of the EPA. Genuinely, your trust in me has favored me by and by and empowered me to propel your motivation past what anybody foreseen toward the start of your Administration. Y

Be that as it may, the tenacious assaults on me by and by, my family, are uncommon and have taken a sizable toll on every one of us.

"There was no issue that crosses over into intolerability," Trump said. "Scott is a tremendous person. He came to me and he stated, 'Look, I have such awesome trust in the organization. I would prefer not to be a diversion.' "

Trump said Pruitt had moved toward him in regards to leaving "two or three days" earlier and that the choice was "especially up to" Pruitt.

Inquired as to whether there was anything about the allegations against Pruitt that vexed him, the President stated, "No."

"He'll go ahead to extraordinary things," Trump said. "He will have a great life, I trust."
