Trump Ally Lee Zeldin Faces Senate Committee for EPA Administrator Confirmation
Jan 16, 2025, 03:09 PM
Lee Zeldin, a close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, faced the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee for his confirmation hearing to become the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The hearing, which began at 10:00 am, focused on Zeldin's conservation record and voting history. Zeldin has promised to dismantle what he refers to as 'left wing' environmental regulations, raising questions about how the EPA can adhere to its mission of protecting human health and the environment under his leadership, especially given Trump's rejection of climate science and his focus on economic growth over environmental regulations.
