 Looking at a recent batch of documents released through a Sierra Club FOI request, the "New York Times" commented that it appeared that the Pruitt schedulers divided people into "friendly" and "unfriendly" camps and noted one case where a meeting was kept so secret that even the meeting hosts were confused about it.Commenting on Pruitt's claim that his unusually extensive security expenses were related to his need for security, the "New York Times" said, "[The documents] show that the agency's close control of Mr. Pruitt's events is driven more by a desire to avoid tough questions from the public than by concerns about security, contradicting Mr. Pruitt's longstanding defense of his secretiveness.
