"EPA Chief Downplays 'Covert Propaganda'" [1]

"Lawmakers grilled the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over officials' reportedly illegal use of "covert propaganda" to promote a controversial water rule.

EPA administrator Gina McCarthy denied any wrongdoing before a House Agriculture Committee hearing on the EPA's effect on the rural economy.

“We will pay attention to what the GAO has said,” McCarthy said. “We just disagree that it was a problem,” she added."
