Cruden's Nomination Seen Restoring Morale At DOJ Environment Office

摘要

John Cruden, President Obama's nominee to head the environment division at the Department of Justice (DOJ), is expected to restore morale to an office that many observers say politicized EPA enforcement under the last appointee - a pattern which they say reduced confidence in DOJ both from stakeholders and within the department. "I don't think his nomination has anything to do with any particular policy. I think it has everything to do with making sure the Justice Department has the leader it deserves. He is very credible, he has the trust of everybody who works there.... That is very important to restoring morale to the environment division," says one former DOJ official.
