Records reveal controversy-prone Pruitt networked and arranged friendly media interviews on personal account

Donald Trump’s first Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator repeatedly violated agency policy to use personal email for government business, according to newly released public records.

Scott Pruitt – who left the administration this summer after months of controversy over his spending, travel and ties with industry – used his private email account for work over a period of months, according to records recently made available to the Sierra Club.
===========================================
Ethically challenged Pruitt again, using a personal email account for government business. One advantage to him: it shields the communications from public records requests.

Is this another one of those non-issues where if it isn't classified info it really isn't against policy like Ivanka's use?

Since a lot of what Pruitt did was controversial, hiding your messages from public records requests is not very ethical IMO.
