During his confirmation hearing Pruitt refused to disclose his many ties with businesses and special interest groups, which probably have a lot to do with his positions.
Follow the money.
Trial Lawyers, a key pillar of the Democrat Party have gotten rich from Fake Science, not to mention outright legal fraud and criminal activity.

Asbestos Litigation: Evidence Of Massive Corruption?
An upcoming law-review article suggests that most of the thousands of asbestos-related injury claims being filed each year are bogus.
STUART TAYLOR JR. DEC 1, 2003 POLITICS
"Asbestos litigation has become a malignant enterprise which mostly consists of a massive client-recruitment effort that accounts for as much as 90 percent of all claims currently being generated, supported by baseless medical evidence which is not generated by good-faith medical practice, but rather is primarily a function of the compensation paid, and by claimant testimony scripted by lawyers to identify exposure to certain defendants' products."
So says law professor Lester Brickman, the leading scholarly critic of the 50,000 to 100,000 asbestos-related injury claims being filed each year by people who, 90 percent of the time, Brickman says, "have no discernable illness or impairment." Rather, they and their lawyers "have cashed in on this national tragedy" by filing claims based on "specious medical evidence."
These disturbing contentions come in a 137-page article to be published this month in The Pepperdine Law Review. They suggest at least the possibility of ongoing corruption of the civil justice system on a staggering scale by powerful plaintiffs lawyers, with the help of complaisant judges—many of whom are politically indebted to the lawyers—while the U.S. Supreme Court primly averts its eyes.
