"EPA ethics officials drafted multiple recusal statements for Bill Wehrum, the agency's air chief whose industry ties have attracted scrutiny.
Records obtained by E&E News under the Freedom of Information Act shed some light on the ethics considerations behind Wehrum's dealings with companies and trade groups with interests regulated by EPA as well as the 10-month process to have him sign a recusal statement.
Sworn in at EPA in November 2017, the agency's ethics officials soon began to work on drafting such a statement for Wehrum that would list his potential conflicts of interests with the multitude of clients he represented in private practice."
