Trump DOJ Environment Pick Vows To 'Vigorously Enforce' Federal Law

摘要

Jeffrey Clark, the Trump administration's pick to bead the Department of Justice's (DOJ) environment division, is offering general assurances to senators that he will "vigorously enforce federal law," while at the same time cooperating with states on environmental enforcement. Clark in written responses to lawmakers' questions also continues to offer noncommittal answers about whether he acknowledges human-caused climate change, pledging to enforce EPA's current greenhouse gas endangerment finding but saying that regulatory agencies and Congress — rather than DOJ officials — must decide if combating climate change is in the public interest. Clark's responses are available on InsideEPA.com. (Doc. ID: 203834).
