‘Zero Tolerance’: EPA Puts Rogue Minority of Staffers on Leave, Launches Investigation into Effort to Upend Will of American PeopleSean Moran 3 Jul 2025
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Lee Zeldin on Thursday put a rogue minority of staffers on leave and launched an investigation into staffers that are seeking to upend the will of the American people regarding President Trump’s energy dominance policies.
“We have a ZERO tolerance policy for agency bureaucrats unlawfully undermining, sabotaging, and undercutting the agenda of this administration as voted for by the great people of this country last November. The will of the American public will not be ignored at our agency,” Zeldin said in a written statement to Breitbart News.
The leader of the EPA will place 144 employees, a fraction of the agency’s 15,000-plus staffers, on administrative leave pending further investigation after some employees exploited their titles and official status as EPA employees to push a partisan agenda that does not reflect the will of the American people, who elected Donald Trump as the 47th president.
“The vast majority of agency employees are dedicated to the core mission of protecting human health and the environment, Powering the Great American Comeback, and respecting the will of the American people,” Zeldin continued in his statement. “Whether at our agency headquarters in DC or spread out across America’s regions, during my travels to 22 states since confirmation, it has been a high honor to actively engage with the EPA’s talented and dedicated career staffers, answering their questions, listening to their counsel, and partnering to implement the agenda our country voted for last year.”
The letter features many former EPA employees, 207 anonymous figures, and many who are former Democrat political appointees.
The EPA has a zero tolerance policy against any employee using their federal position to seek to mislead the public and undermine Trump’s political mandate to unleash energy dominance while working to maintain clean air, water, and land.
