Democratic senators Ed Markey, Sheldon Whitehouse and Tom Carper last week wrote to EPA chief Scott Pruitt to ask about delays to the report and request communications between the EPA and ACC related to the formaldehyde assessment, saying they were concerned the agency was bowing to industry pressure.
Pruitt's response, which Carper revealed Wednesday, consisted of a brief letter explaining President Trump's March 85033 energy executive order, along with a press release about his Clean Power Plan review, a copy of a letter he sent to governors about the review and press clippings praising the order.
In a letter to Deputy White House Counsel Stefan Passantino, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tom Carper expressed concern over media reports that Kushner is maintaining some business interests, and asked how the White House plans to comply with laws that prohibit federal officials from profiting by government work.
The breached bank is reportedly weighing legal action, calling the incident "a major lapse on the part of [Federal Reserve Bank] NY." Carper pressed both Dudley and Antonacci on how their organizations are responding to the attacks and requested that both arrange a staff briefing on the matter.
"While the Hatch Act prohibits covered employees from engaging in political activity in an official capacity at any time, or while on duty or in the workplace, there are additional restrictions for covered employees in their personal capacity," Carper wrote in the letter dated April 7 and released Tuesday.

Senator Tom Carper of Delaware, a home-state ally of Mr. Biden, said the former vice president was aggrieved because he felt that instead of receiving sufficient credit for his decades of work on race issues, he was being criticized for using language that didn't intend to offend.
"Let's go ahead and get the bill out, get it through the process, through the House, and then later on if we need to revisit the issue of preemption, and we can do that," Carper told reporters Tuesday, arguing the legislation is widely back by both industry and environmentalist.

"These facts raise questions about Mr. Perrotta's compliance with EPA regulations and concerns that he may have used his position at the agency to influence the award of EPA contracts to a person or company in which he has a financial interest," Democratic Senators Tom Carper and Sheldon Whitehouse wrote.
Tom Carper of Delaware, the top Democrat on the committee, has labeled the Oklahoma Republican "Polluting Pruitt" since his nomination was announced and argued that an EPA head that does not "recognize the damaging effects of climate change on our environment and economy" is not qualified for the job.

"In my gut, I feel that these emails — the nature of these emails and the entities with whom they were sent and received — will help us understand the truth," Carper told reporters Thursday in renewing his call for a delay shortly after debate formally started on Pruitt on the Senate floor.
Senator Tom Carper of Delaware, the leading Democrat on the Environment and Public Works Committee, which oversees the E.P.A., said this week that, while he liked Mr. Wheeler and considered him an improvement over Mr. Pruitt, he was not ready to support his formal ascent to head of the agency.
Mr. Carper said he visited the offices of 16 Republican senators to voice his concerns, bringing with him an iPad in order to play a three-minute video that his staff had compiled of Ms. White struggling to respond to questions posed by both Republicans and Democrats at her hearing.
Harris tells me her wardrobe hasn't expanded much since then: It still consists of five button-downs, three polos, one pair of jeans, two pairs of khakis and, as of Monday, a navy blazer she got as an early birthday present, purchased especially for her debate against Delaware Senator Tom Carper.
Harris with Ocasio-Cortez "I was realizing we needed to be stronger in supporting progressive policies and we didn't just need to keep electing someone that's nice to us in person and then votes in favor of corporations over people when they go to Washington," Harris said of her decision to challenge Carper.
That these and many more riders were deleted from the bill is a tribute to Senator Charles Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, and Senate allies like Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Tom Udall of New Mexico and Thomas Carper of Delaware, all willing to annoy some powerful interests along the way.
But federal officials briefed on the negotiations, including the office of Senator Thomas R. Carper, Democrat of Delaware, the ranking member of the Senate committee that oversees the E.P.A., said major objections were raised by the Pentagon, as well as by NASA, another major user of PFAS, and the Small Business Administration.
" Carper and his supporters had been quick to underline the differences between him and Crowley, a Queens Democrat with a home in Virginia who Ocasio-Cortez cuttingly alluded to in her viral campaign ad as someone who "doesn't send his kids to our schools, doesn't drink our water or breathe our air.
She's also nailed him on his historic coziness with big banks—Carper cosponsored a recent bill that eased regulations on banks—and his votes on environmental justice issues—he voted in favor of the Keystone XL Pipeline, and to confirm climate change denier Rick Perry to the head of the Department of Energy.
"If the President intends to nominate Andrew Wheeler to be the Administrator of EPA, then Mr. Wheeler must come before our committee so that members can look at his record as Acting Administrator objectively to see if any improvements have been made at the agency since he took the helm," Carper said in a statement.

"Such a proposal, if finalized, would harm U.S. national and economic security, undermine efforts to combat global warming pollution, create regulatory and manufacturing uncertainty for the automobile industry and unnecessary litigation, increase the amount of gasoline consumers would have to buy, and runs counter to statements that both of you have made," Senator Carper wrote.
"While there are a number of issues on which President Trump and I disagree, today, we agreed that things worth having are worth paying for, and the president even offered to help provide the leadership necessary so that we could do something that has proven difficult in the past," Carper said in a statement.
Tom Carper (D-Del.), ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, said his staff did not want to be a mediator of the dispute but encouraged the inspector general's office to ask questions "with enough specificity that whoever is being questioned knows what's being asked and can be responsive" to those inquiries.
"This new website—launched barely a month after federal agents shut down the original Silk Road—underscores the inescapable reality that technology is dynamic and ever-evolving and that government policy needs to adapt accordingly," Senator Tom Carper, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a statement published at the time.
Senator Tom Carper of Delaware requested that both answer questions and brief his staff by June 17 on how they were handling issues following the February heist, during which hackers wired money out of an account at the New York Fed held by Bank Bangladesh, as well as how they were safeguarding against other potential cyber threats.

"This egregious climate denial plan fails to protect the American people from the serious risks of climate change, fails to produce the same health and energy saving benefits that were achieved under the Clean Power Plan, and could send clean energy jobs to China," said Carper, the ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

E.P.A. Administrator Scott Pruitt is "blatantly ignoring Congress's clear directive to the agency to better protect the health and safety of millions of Americans by more effectively regulating some of the most dangerous chemicals known to man," said Senator Tom Carper, Democrat of Delaware and the ranking minority member on the Senate Environment and Public Works committee.
"Sometime — a week from now, maybe days from now — my fear is that a number of members, especially on the other side, will have been put in a very bad position and asked to vote for a nominee that they otherwise may not have supported had they known," Carper told reporters shortly before the judge ordered the emails released.

"I'm glad members of both the Senate and House were able to find areas of agreement and reach a compromise on a major water infrastructure bill that ... invests in critical infrastructure like our country's ports and waterways, and expands our investments in drinking water for the first time in more than two decades," Carper said in a statement.
"I always run like I'm 20 points behind and like my opponents are 10 feet tall," the 71-year-old senator says earnestly after bowing in front of Ms. BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) Delaware (whom the senator jokingly calls his wife) and ducking behind a black college student whom Carper said he'd want to be his center if he were playing quarterback.
"Your response was not responsive to our requests, provided none of the requested information about the agency's CPP review process, and consisted entirely of a four-sentence summary of the executive order, copies of two publicly available press releases and a letter you sent to the governor Nevada in March," Carper said in a new letter asking again for the information he requested.
The Senate last week unveiled its own bipartisan version of the legislation, which was introduced by Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman John BarrassoJohn Anthony BarrassoIf Democrats want gun control, they must first concede defeat Conway: Republican concerns about gun reform 'all reconcilable' Five proposals Congress is eyeing after mass shootings MORE (R-Wyo.) and ranking member Tom Carper (D-Del.).

Most of all, he relied on the relationships he has built up in the "state of neighbors," as Delaware politicians call it, a place small enough — with a population of about 960,000, ranking it 45th among all states — where a veteran figure like Mr. Carper can personally meet a sizable number of voters, and an even larger share of the primary electorate.
On the day the White House made its announcement, Elizabeth Warren, a pugnacious Democratic senator from Massachusetts, and Tom Carper, a Democratic senator from Delaware, also fired off a letter to the Office of Government Ethics in which they bemoaned the confusion over potential conflicts of interest for Ms Trump, a businesswoman with her own fashion and jewellery label, as close confidante of the president.
