      I had filed a #FOIA with EPA for any records of death threats made against Scott Pruitt. EPA said it had zero recorss.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/982770847046922240 …

      While Security spending was somewhat more than his predecessor, Scott Pruitt has received death threats because of his bold actions at EPA. Record clean Air & Water while saving USA Billions of Dollars. Rent was about market rate, travel expenses OK. Scott is doing a great job!

      epa investigates several different types of threats and eenews got records of some of the one being made:https://www.eenews.net/stories/1060070805 …

      I specifically asked for records about death threats against Pruitt. Still, would not be the first time EPA lied to me about whether certain records exist.

      In any event, this report backs up — or at least does not contradict — your tweet. It makes no reference to any death threats, and none of the mentioned arrests related to Pruitt.

      Replying to @RanceArnold @JasonLeopold @rebleber

      It says there were threats, but does not mention any death threats. Based on the fact that it does say there were only three arrests — and none related to Pruitt — I have to presume there were, at the least, no credible death threats.

      Additionally, I stated quite clearly that it was somewhat ambiguous, noting that it “backs up — or at least does not contradict — [Jason’s] tweet.” Carry on.

          Mad Hatter Retweeted Margot Williams

          Is he counting "I hate Scott Pruitt" as a threat? That probably explains it... /snark Or maybe "Die, Pruitt, die" was in German 😆 While almost any personal criticism could probably be perceived as a threat, there don't appear to be any credible ones...https://twitter.com/MargotWilliams/status/982842593355628544 …

          AP: “A nationwide search of state and federal court records by the AP found no case where anyone has been arrested or charged with threatening Pruitt.”

          Don't forget, it could also be the EPA only keeps records of credible death threats, vs randomly "I'm gonna kill you!" cries from inconsequential insane people.
