Biden WH claims Trump ‘eschewed’ science, amid criticism for health protocols at border
Fox News
The White House on Monday announced it will review policies put in place by President Donald Trump "that eschewed scientific integrity" – while at the same time coming under fire for health protocols at increasingly packed migrant facilities at the border.
"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," a spokesperson for the office said in a statement. In a memo, the agency noted that it will review the policies to determine whether they prevent improper political interference, prevent the suppression or distortion of information, support diversity among scientists, and advance equitable delivery of the government’s programs.More Related News
