PRUITT ALLIES SOUGHT EPA JOBS FOR FRIENDS, FAMILY AS COMPANIES SUGGESTED HIRES, EMAILS SHOW

July 3, 2018

Meanwhile, Henry Darwin, a former state of Arizona Chief of Operations who joined the EPA as the assistant deputy secretary in July last year, also got his wife a job at the agency.

While negotiating his potential job offer at the EPA in May 2017, Darwin expressed concerns about the potential salary to Jackson, and asked if his wife, who is a "legitimate environmental professional" can also have a job at the EPA.

While negotiating his job at EPA in May 2017, Henry Darwin also pitched a role for his wife, who he called a “legitimate environmental professional," according to internal emails obtained by ABC.

"It would help our financial decision immensely," Darwin wrote to EPA Chief of staff Ryan Jackson in the email. "If not out of the question, I would be happy to forward her resume and references (which I would suggest you check - everyone loves her almost as much as I do)."

The former Arizona state official’s wife Veronica Darwin was later hired to be a senior adviser to the administrator for Land and Emergency Management.

"To have his title, he should be doing more than just Lean work," said one. "They talk about the D.C. swamp. They have just replaced it with a satellite office cesspool."

'HIGHLY UNUSUAL' MOVE PUTS REGION 9 CHIEF'S OFFICE IN LA

Other political appointees, including EPA Assistant Deputy Administrator Henry Darwin, have also moved offices closer to home (Greenwire, Aug. 26). Darwin's move reignited frustrations over a controversial new contract imposed on employees represented by the agency's largest union that limits their telework and caused many to scramble work schedules.
