I write to request a legal opinion from the U.S. Government Accountability Office concerning whether the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) violated the annual governmentwide statutory prohibition on the use of funds for publicity or propaganda and the Antideficiency Act when the U.S. EPA's official twitter account, @EPA, tweeted the following statement at 6 am on April 13, 2018: 'The Senate does its duty: Andrew Wheeler confirmed by Senate as deputy administrator of @EPA. The Democrats couldn't block the confirmation of environmental policy expert and former EPA staffer under both a Republican and a Democrat president.'
