Scott Applewhite, File) President Donald Trump is reluctant to fire Scott Pruitt, his scandal-plagued head of the Environmental Protection Agency, because he holds out hope to someday use Pruitt as a replacement for Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The president attempted to dispel these reports on Thursday by reasserting his confidence in Pruitt and stating that “Scott’s doing a great job where he is,” according to CNN.
