Oklahoma City, OK -- Today, Judge Aletia Haynes Timmons of the Seventh District Court of Oklahoma ruled that Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, must disclose as many as 3,000 documents, which may contain correspondence between Pruitt and the fossil fuel industry.
In response, Sierra Club Legislative Director Melinda Pierce released the following statement:
“Scott Pruitt and Senate Republicans have made a mockery of the confirmation process, permitting the nominee to escape scrutiny and hide his deep ties to the fossil fuel industry. What is he hiding in all of these emails? The vote to confirm Pruitt must now be delayed until every senator can see just who Pruitt is and what he will do if permitted to run the EPA.”
