The House Science committee chaired by Oklahoma U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas has started an investigation into whether the Biden administration fabricated a paper trail in order to shut down a chemical plant in Louisiana. At least, the Republican leaders on the committee have begun the probe.
Leaders of two subcommittees, Max Miller of Ohio and Brian Babin of Texas sent a letter this week to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan. They want more background information about the EPA’s movements before the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against synthetics manufacturer Denka Performance Elastomer in 2023.
