Ex-EPA administrator Scott Pruitt seems to be passing down his legacy.
Trey Glenn, a regional EPA administrator in the southeast and Pruitt appointee, has resigned his office after being indicted on violations of Alabama state ethics laws.
According to a Monday Washington Post report, the charges seem to stem from Glenn’s work to get a coal company off the hook for an EPA-required cleanup of a polluted site in Birmingham.
He was reportedly released from Jefferson County Jail on a $30,000 bond.
Glenn is still denying wrongdoing, despite the indictment. In a letter published by AL.com, Glenn wrote to acting EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler that he was trying to remove “any distraction from you and all the great people who work at EPA as you carry out the Agency’s mission.”
“I intend to focus on my family, fight these unfounded accusations and ultimately clear my name,” he continued.
Only the best, swampiest, corrupt, crooked people! Only the very, very best!!!
“Glenn is still denying wrongdoing, despite the indictment.”
Is TPM now denying the right to plead not guilty and defend oneself once an indictment has been issued?
The apple doesn’t fall far from the douche bag?
"Glenn wrote to acting EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler that he was trying to remove “any distraction from you and all the great people who work at EPA as you carry out the Agency’s mission.”
he continued
“If, I, in my purity and innocence, accidentally let a large sum of money be transferred to my bank account, then I will spend my life denying the optics of the matter and defend my sacred honor. Those who have to live with toxic seepage into their ground water and possible other toxic hazards, which may, or may not, be related to this site, will be in my prayers tonight.”
