Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt is in hot water after ABC reported last week that Pruitt has been renting a condo owned by a top energy lobbyist for much of his first year in Washington. The rental agreement — $50 a month — was well below market value, and now the White House has launched an investigation into whether it was a conflict of interest for Pruitt to live there on the cheap. The EPA said last week that the agreement had been cleared by ethics officials, but social media is still crying corruption. The frequently embattled Pruitt is sitting at 79 percent negative sentiments on 30dB, and many are calling on him to resign. He may not get the chance if former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is to be believed. “I don’t know how you survive this one, and if he has to go, it’s because he never should’ve been there in the first place,” Christie told ABC’s This Week on Sunday. –Hugo Guzman
