President Trump on Tuesday imposed a media blackout at the Environmental Protection Agency and barred staff from awarding new contracts or grants.

Emails sent to EPA staff since his inauguration on Friday and reviewed by the Associated Press detailed the specific prohibitions banning press releases, blog updates or posts to the agency’s social media accounts.

Here’s the best line in that whole danged story, the final line:

“The EPA did not immediately respond to phone calls and emails requesting comment.”

Well, duh!

Sounds like a good decision, but I’ll hold out for confirmation from a reliable source.

Let it be bigly.

He did not order a “EPA Blackout” - he just told them they were not authorized to release any information until he tells them what the new administrations plans are

This is NOT some dark conspiracy, and they fact that one of them ‘leaked’ it already makes it clear why he needed to do this.
