The EPA is reportedly investigating employees who signed a letter critical of Trump.

The Environmental Protection Agency placed 144 employees on administrative leave, the New York Times reports. The move comes after hundreds of EPA employees signed a letter accusing the Trump administration of “ignoring scientific consensus to benefit polluters.”

DOGE also tore into the agency, making it more difficult to hold companies accountable for breaking environmental laws.
