"EPA: Wheeler To Face Lawmakers In First Hearing As Agency Chief"

"Andrew Wheeler will be on Capitol Hill on Wednesday for his first congressional hearing as acting EPA administrator.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is well-trodden ground for Wheeler, who took the reins of EPA earlier this month after Scott Pruitt stepped down under heavy scrutiny for allegations of exorbitant spending and mismanagement.

Wheeler previously served as the committee's staff director and is familiar to several of its senators, including Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.)."
