During his last week as Oklahoma’s attorney general, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt requested a $400 reimbursement for office decorations purchased six years earlier, state records show. The state of Oklahoma paid Pruitt on Feb. 13, 2017 for a mirror, a plant, a planter, and a vase that were purchased days before he was inaugurated in 2011. A spokeswoman for Pruitt’s successor, Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter, told MapLight that no one currently working there could explain why the items were purchased. As Oklahoma attorney general, Pruitt spent significantly more than his predecessor. A month later, the office paid to send Pruitt to speak at an event hosted by Americans for Prosperity, the Koch network’s flagship political organization.
