Biden task force to review times Trump administration 'eschewed' science in favor of politics

The Biden administration revealed on Monday that it will carry-out an interagency review of scientific policies in place across the federal government, including some implemented by President Donald Trump’s administration that “eschewed scientific integrity.”

"OSTP’s Scientific Integrity Task Force will be taking a whole-of-government, forward-looking review of science across federal agencies, in part by examining practices that were antithetical to that mission over the last four years – including Trump-era policies that eschewed scientific integrity in favor of politics," Julia Krieger, spokesperson for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said in a statement obtained by Fox News. "By inaugurating an inclusive review process by federal scientists of all backgrounds, OSTP is dedicated to building on lessons learned to better serve the American people with practical, science-based results." Biden wrote a letter requesting the review in January, asking for recommendations to help guide the next 75 years of scientific discovery in the U.S.
