[quote]A state judge has ordered Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s office to release thousands of documents related to Pruitt’s communications with the energy industry. The Thursday ruling comes the day before a scheduled Senate vote on Pruitt’s nomination to run the Environmental Protection Agency.
Judge Aletia Haynes Timmons of the District Court of Oklahoma County ruled that the attorney general’s office will have until Tuesday to turn over more than 2,500 emails and other documents. The watchdog group Center for Media and Democracy, with legal representation from the American Civil Liberties Union, had filed a lawsuit against Pruitt earlier this month, alleging that his office had violated Oklahoma’s open records law.[/quote]

Will be very interesting to see if anything comes of this. Frankly, though, even if a conflict of interest or a violation of open records is revealed, I wouldn't be surprised if Republicans in congress ignore it and carry on with the confirmation hearing.
Do you have a more mainstream source on this?
