Lawmakers Eye Impeachment for EPA Chief

by

Just one month after the EPA poisoned Colorado's Animas River when government workers punched a hole in a gold mine they were supposed to be cleaning up, Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar is leading the way to introduce a resolution of impeachment for EPA Administrator Regina McCarthy.

The resolution, which can be found here, accuses McCarthy of lying under oath to Congress, perjury and high crimes and misdemeanors. 

“Impeaching Regina McCarthy, Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, for high crimes and misdemeanors,” the resolution states. 

A Dear Colleague letter is also being circulated on Capitol Hill in order to gain support for the resolution and details multiple instances when Gosar believes McCarthy made false statements under oath. 

“Administrator McCarthy committed perjury and made several false statements at multiple congressional hearings, and as a result, is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors—an impeachable offense,” the letter written by Gosar states. “Perjury and making false statements to Congress are an affront to the fundamental principles of our republic and the rule of law, and such behavior cannot be tolerated. This bill holds Administrator McCarthy accountable for her blatant deceptions and unlawful conduct.”
