Ignoring the rules

Scott Pruitt, the head of the EPA, is having a hard time working for the government. He is not exactly open nor fiscally conservative. Now, the GAO has ruled that his construction of a secret phone booth had to be authorized by Congress because it cost more than $5,000. Furthermore, the need for such a booth is questionable as the EPA already has a sensitive compartmented information facility to handle classified information on a different floor of its headquarters.
