Taking a Page From Putin Regime, Trump Administration Silences EPA

SAN FRANCISCO – Today’s unprecedented action by the White House forbidding the Environmental Protection Agency to share any information with the press or public is a chilling move that mocks democratic principles, said EWG President Ken Cook.

The Kremlin may be able to get away with this kind of iron-handed censorship, but Americans of all political stripes should be furious.”
