House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy on Wednesday requested additional documents from EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt concerning his first-class travel arrangements and Capitol Hill condo agreement with a Washington lobbyist couple.

While the agency has provided some documents related to Pruitt's travel arrangements, Gowdy said in a letter that EPA had not provided requested information on waivers the administrator received for first- or business-class tickets.

In addition, Gowdy said records already provided to the agency about the $50-per-night lease in a Capitol Hill condo Pruitt held last year "are insufficient to evaluate compliance with federal ethics rules." He asked for "all documents and communications" related to that lease and associated communications related to whether Pruitt adhered to the terms of that lease.

Gowdy asked for a response no later than April 25.
