his soundproof office door and phone booth. This grifter needs to be done and gone!

Scott Pruitt was only supposed to be living in the Capitol Hill condominium that has become a focal point of his latest ethics controversy for six weeks last year while he got settled in Washington but the new Environmental Protection Agency administrator didnt leave when his lease ended.
snip
The couple, Vicki and Steve Hart, became so frustrated by their lingering tenant that they eventually pushed him out and changed their locks. After trying to nudge Pruitt out of their home over the course of several months, the Harts finally told Pruitt in July that they had plans to rent his room to another tenant.
The original arrangement was that he would be there living out of a suitcase and it just kept going and going, said one of the people with knowledge of the arrangement.
The Harts eventually told Pruitt, who had to be reminded repeatedly to pay his rent, that they had plans to rent the room to somebody else and that he needed to find another place to live, according to the people familiar with events. They also informed him in early August that they were changing the locks on their door.
