Today, during the White House Press Briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was twice asked about the deluge of corruption scandals facing Scott Pruitt.

Asked if the President is OK with the Pruitt’s ethics scandals, Sanders said “The president’s not. We’re reviewing the situation."

Huckabee Sanders refused to answer whether Donald Trump still has confidence in Pruitt, instead, reiterating how seriously the White House is taking Pruitt’s scandals. Video is available here.

Meanwhile, Pruitt floundered in an interview on Fox News where he was caught lying while trying to save his job, while also seemingly declaring himself to be a “very important person.”
