美环保署长面对愤怒议员：我没什么好隐瞒的

发布时间：2019-10-15 编辑：查字典英语网小编

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt told lawmakers who are angry about allegations of ethics and spending missteps during his tenure he had "nothing to hide" and added the accusations are meant to derail President Donald Trump's agenda.

"Let me be very clear: I have nothing to hide as it relates to how I've run the agency for the past 16 months," Pruitt told a subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Pruitt added, "Those who attack the EPA and attack me are doing so because they want to attack and derail the president's agenda and undermine this administration's priorities. I'm simply not going to let that happen."

Legislators from both the Republican and Democratic parties lashed out at Pruitt. Democrat Frank Pallone told Pruitt, "You should resign and you are undeserving of public trust."

Pruitt went before two House of Representatives subcommittees for hearings about the agency's budget, and lawmakers sought answers about his spending on first-class air travel, his security detail and a lease of a room in Washington.

美国环保署署长斯科特·普鲁特说，他“没有什么好隐瞒的”。议员们对有关普鲁特任职期间操守和开支不当的指称感到愤怒。普鲁特说，针对他的指控是试图打乱川普总统的施政议程。

普鲁特对众议院能源与商务小组委员会说：“让我把话说得非常明白：在与我过去16个月管理环保署相关的问题上，我没有什么好隐瞒的。”

他还说：“那些攻击环保署和攻击我的人这么做是因为他们想攻击和打乱总统的施政议程，并破坏本届行政当局的工作重点。我绝不会让它发生。”

来自共和与民主两党的议员都抨击了普鲁特。民主党人弗兰克·帕龙对普鲁特说：“您应当辞职，您不配公众信任。”

普鲁特在两个众议院小组委员会有关环保署预算问题的听证会上作证。议员们试图让他回答有关他本人职业操守的问题，包括他坐飞机头等舱的开销、他的警卫团队以及他在华盛顿租用一个房间的合约。
