"EPA: McCarthy Slams Trump's 'Unprecedented' Webpage Overhaul" [1]

"Former U.S. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy criticized the Trump administration yesterday for removing "years" of climate change data from the agency's public webpage.

"This is a wholesale wiping out of historical record of what this agency has been doing with public dollars for decades, not just the past eight years," McCarthy said, appearing on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show."

"This is unprecedented in terms of the scope of information that's been taken down. Information that's public information. People have a right to be able to access it, and no president has ever done this before," McCarthy said."
