"Officials from Hunton Andrews Kurth emailed with Wehrum to discuss policy, issue invitations to social outings"
"Bill Wehrum, the Environmental Protection Agency’s top air policy official, continued to stay in close touch with employees at his former law firm after joining the Trump administration, according to documents released this week under the Freedom of Information Act.
The trove of emails between Wehrum and officials at Hunton & Williams — which changed its name to Hunton Andrews Kurth after a 2018 merger — shows the extent to which he communicated and socialized with his former associates even though many of them had clients with business before the EPA. The documents were released Monday as part of ongoing litigation by the Sierra Club, an advocacy group.
Wehrum, who worked as a partner at Hunton between stints at the EPA under Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump, represented a number of industry groups during his time as a corporate lawyer. Those included American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, Duke Energy and Exxon Mobil."
