Pruitt Starts at EPA With Speech to Staff, E-Mail Disclosures

摘要

Scott Pruitt will face an eventful first day at the EPA. The new addition to the agency, fresh off a stint as Oklahoma attorney general, is set to deliver his first remarks to EPA staff just as an Oklahoma district court compels the release of thousands of his former office's e-mails with fossil fuel companies. Adding to that, Democrats and environmental groups are pledging to hound the new Environmental Protection Agency administrator to ensure he complies with the law after Pruitt was confirmed Feb. 17 largely along partisan lines.
