Tiffany Trump and Audrey Pence aren’t the only daughters of Trump administration officials who are first-year students at top law schools.
Meet McKenna Pruitt, a 1L at the University of Virginia School of Law. You may recognize her last name, because she’s the daughter of Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt. Following the rollback of 67 environmental safeguards, her father earned himself a role as the “most dangerous member of Trump’s cabinet.”

According to her LinkedIn profile, Pruitt is a 2017 graduate of the University of Oklahoma, where she was a cheerleader, a member of the Young Republicans Club, and a sister of Kappa Alpha Theta (me too!). Just prior to her arrival at UVA Law, Pruitt served as a law clerk with the White House Counsel’s Office. Her UVA classmates say Pruitt “mostly keeps to herself and puts in long hours in the library.”
When will all of these Trump administration 1Ls get together and form a study group? With the presumably brilliant minds that landed them at Yale, UVA, and Georgetown, we imagine that they’d be able to create one hell of a spectacular outline.
Congratulations to McKenna Pruitt on her enrollment at UVA Law. We hope she’s enjoying her adventures at the elite law school. Keep that collar popped, sis!
