Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin took a New York Times reporter to task over media bias in reporting on efforts to expose fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars under the Biden administration.
During a press conference on Monday at the EPA, Zeldin confronted New York Times reporter Lisa Friedman over an April 2 story she had written in which she accused him of making “explosive accusations against the Biden administration” with no evidence, regarding the mishandling of $20 billion in climate grants.
Using the reporter’s own words, Zeldin fired back at the reporter and dared other media outlets, including the Washington Post and Politico, to back up their reporting that there was “no evidence” of wrongdoing.
