President Trump Says He’ll Name Andrew Wheeler Permanent Head Of Epa

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump says he will name the Environmental Protection Agency’s acting head, Andrew Wheeler, to the post permanently. Trump made the announcement almost in passing Friday at a White House ceremony for Presidential Medal of Freedom honorees. The president singled out Wheeler in the audience at the ceremony, adding Wheeler “is going to be made permanent” at EPA.
