"A Democratic lawmaker has asked the Interior Department's watchdog to look into reports that President Trump's nominee to lead the agency directly intervened to stop the release of a study linking the effects of two chemicals on endangered species.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote a letter to Interior's acting Inspector General Mary Kendall asking for an investigation into allegations that the agency's acting chief, David Bernhardt, stopped the release of the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) study.
Bernhardt’s intervention was outlined as part of more than 84,000 pages of documentation recently released through a Freedom of Information Act request to The New York Times."
