The National Climate Assessment represents the consensus view of 13 Federal agencies and more than 300 experts.

Do you agree the assessment represents a consensus view on the science of climate change?

The entire 1,500-page report was peer-reviewed by the National Academies.

President Trump and his appointees really have seemed intent on casting doubt on the science of climate change.

Thank you both for your real serious devotion to making sure that we can actually get the facts out about global warming and climate change.

It is disappointing but not surprising that President Trump... disbanded the advisory committee.

All of those provisions that were prepared, were prepared based on climate science.

Unless he is claiming executive privilege, then I believe he has to answer the question.

The point being that there was not a citizenship question on the 2000 Census as has been referred to here multiple times.

I am asking if you are claiming executive privilege and refusing to answer my question as a result?

You are just continuing to stonewall.

Mr. Secretary, it was your email and your phone call.

They seem dug in about--not sling, I assume you mean asking, the citizenship question, and that raises the question of where is the DOJ in their analysis.

Even though that has never been the policy before? And incidentally, you implemented a three-month review process.

That would also seem to me to be an attempt to delay or deny FOIA requests when you add another layer of review by politically appointed staff to slow down the assurance that FOIA requests are going to be met in a timely fashion.

How is this not a policy change designed to delay FOIA requests explicitly to protect your bosses?

Are you aware of any policy changes made to delay or deny FOIA requests to protect politically appointed staff?

Are you aware of any attempts to delay or deny a FOIA request to hide information about or protect former Secretary Zinke?

Are you aware of attempts to delay or deny a FOIA request to hide information about or protect your boss, Solicitor Giorgianni?

In my days as a state legislator, we called Ms. Spector's answer not passing the straight-face test.

Is there any reason for the inclusion of that three-month period other than to protect former Secretary Zinke?

U.S. Dept. of the Interior February 28, 2019 Memo Regarding FOIA; submitted by Ms. Wasserman Schultz

Today's hearing is just our first step in protecting consumers from potentially carcinogenic products. The American people deserve nothing less.

Half a billion dollars in drugs that they intercepted on the water, which a wall would not have helped us with.

Despite President Trump's promise to do whatever it takes to combat the opioid crisis, his national emergency declaration would take $600 million from the Treasury Department's Drug Forfeiture Fund.
