"EPA's internal watchdog did not review allegations against Scott Pruitt for failing to keep track of records or properly respond to Freedom of Information Act requests.

In a report released this morning, EPA's Office of Inspector General said it didn't investigate those specific charges, including some made by lawmakers, because the former EPA administrator resigned during the beginning of its review.

"Since Mr. Pruitt left the agency during the preliminary stages of this audit, we did not review specific allegations made against him," said the report.

One of the lawmakers who requested the report was displeased with that move by the inspector general."
