EPA's Zeldin defends press release against CNN's claims
EPA administrator Lee Zeldin criticized CNN for misinterpreting a press release from his agency. CNN claimed the release contained "typos," but Zeldin clarified that the letters referred to regulatory code, not errors. The press release announced 31 actions aimed at rolling back regulations from the Biden administration. Zeldin stated that the release was part of a significant deregulatory effort, which he believes will benefit American energy producers. CNN's chief climate correspondent suggested the rapid pace of the EPA's actions led to mistakes. Zeldin responded by emphasizing the accuracy of the regulatory references in the press release.
