"EPA: Wheeler's Ex-Firm Lobbied Agency On Efforts He Oversees"

"A former colleague of acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler repeatedly met with top EPA officials about toxic waste sites and regulations that Wheeler now controls, newly released emails show.

The communications between EPA's former point man for the Superfund toxic waste cleanup program and an ex-director at Wheeler's old lobbying firm discuss two specific sites and one rulemaking — all of which Wheeler hasn't recused himself from working on.

The emails raise questions about the sufficiency of the acting administrator's ethics disclosures, according to experts."
