Scott Pruitt, Trump’s administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has made no secret of his skepticism about the human role in driving climate change. But thanks to a June 1 ruling by Beryl Howell, chief judge of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, Pruitt can no longer keep the reasoning behind his opinion secret.
According to the ruling, Pruitt has until July 11 to produce “an explanation for any documents withheld in full or in part” from a FOIA request filed by the nonprofit Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), the plaintiff in this case.
