Six former Environmental Protection Agency employees on Wednesday filed a First Amendment legal challenge against EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for terminating their employment because they protested what they said was the politicization of science under the Trump administration. The employees were fired earlier this year after publicly signing an open letter to Zeldin calling out the agency for endangering public health and allowing politics to dictate scientific research.
