  • Summary

  • Terminations have hit all of the major federal energy and environmental agencies in recent days as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to shrink the federal workforce. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down which agencies have been affected, how the firings represent the most aggressive action against bureaucracy in modern Washington history, and the reaction from lawmakers. Plus, a top federal prosecutor in Washington resigned on Tuesday after refusing an order from Justice Department leaders to direct a bank to freeze accounts holding $20 billion in climate change money allocated during the Biden administration. Alex Guillén is an energy reporter for POLITICO Pro. Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer. Annie Rees is the managing producer for audio at POLITICO. Gloria Gonzalez is the deputy energy editor for POLITICO. Matt Daily is the energy editor for POLITICO.
