"Former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and onetime White House strategist Steve Bannon instigated President Trump's decision to leave the Paris climate accord.

Such is the picture longtime Washington Post reporter and author Bob Woodward paints in his new book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," which was released today and continues to draw daily criticism from the Trump administration.

Within the book's 357 pages, Pruitt appears at an unscheduled April 5, 2017, meeting in the Oval Office, which Woodward cast as an "off-the-books" meeting. Also present was Bannon, who would serve as Trump's chief strategist during the first seven months of Trump's term."
