Rep. Nydia Velazquez Asks Interior Sec. Bernhardt to Explain Delayed Pesticide Report
Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) asks Interior Secretary David Bernhardt to explain why a report on pesticide impacts to endangered species was delayed after he personally told DOI staff not to publish it. Bernhardt was a high-priced lobbyist before coming to the Department and has well-documented corporate conflicts of interest.
